Description
Product Description:
The ¼ Rupee (Char Anna) coin of 1954 was issued by the Government of India as part of the early post-independence coinage. The obverse features the Lion Capital of Ashoka with “भारत / INDIA”, while the reverse shows two wheat ears flanking the denomination “¼ Rupee” (चार आना) along with the year 1954.
Struck in nickel, this coin represents India’s transitional period of currency, linking the old anna system with the decimal system. Today, the 1954 Char Anna is considered a rare and valuable collectible among numismatists.
