Here is a silver two anna coin. This coin was equal to one eighth of the rupee. This was probably the smallest silver coin of this era. This is a very small coin, about the size of the new stainless still 10 paise that was current in late 1990s. On the obverse, we can find floral design all around with very small circle in the center left for all the text. The text reads "TWO ANNAS" and "INDIA" followed by the year of issue. The Urdu text "do aanaa" meaning two annas follows the English text.

On the reverse is the portrait on King George V wearing the crown of India. Around the portrait are the words "GEORGE V KING EMPEROR".
