The King’s Old Coin Has a Secret… You Won’t Believe What We Found!

An old coin from the British India era can sometimes have details that make a big difference to collectors. In this video, we take a closer look at two 1935 coins, the royal connection behind them, their design, mint details, condition, and the factors that can affect collector value. The 1935 quarter-anna type was issued during the reign of King George V, with examples associated with both Calcutta and Bombay mints. Watch until the end to see the important details that collectors look for—and find out what could make an example more interesting than an ordinary circulated coin. Note: Coin value can vary substantially with condition, mintmark and variety; catalogue estimates are not a guaranteed selling price.
