This specimen was lot 4237 in Goldberg sale 80 (Los Angeles, June 2014), where it sold for $294. The catalog description[1] noted, "India - British. 4 Annas, 1921 (c). Copper-Nickel. Scalloped octagon. George V. Restrike. NGC graded Proof 64." This four annas was struck at the Calcutta mint after World War One. A wartime surge in the price of silver prompted the British authorities to replace the silver quarter rupee with this copper-nickel type. It must not have been a success as it was dropped after only three years (1919-21). Likewise, the copper-nickel eight annas was abandoned after 1920.
Recorded mintage: proofs and restrikes only.
Specification: 6.5 g, copper-nickel.
