Interesting fact
The 1 Anna coin from India, issued between 1950 and 1954, is interesting because it was one of the last coins to be issued by the British Indian government before India gained independence in 1947. The coin features the profile of King George VI on one side and the Indian national emblem on the other. It was made of copper-nickel and weighed 3.88 grams. Despite being a standard circulation coin, it has become a sought-after collector's item due to its historical significance and the fact that it was issued during a time of great change in India's history.
