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.

This is the silver quarter rupee issues in 1913 in the reign of George V. This is a smaller coin almost exactly the same size as the new steel 25 paise.

On the obverse, we can see grand floral design all around with a small circular portion left in the middle for all the text. The text reads "1/4 RUPEE" and "INDIA" followed by the year of issue. Below it, we find the Urdu "chaar aanaa" meaning four annas.

On the reverse, we see the portrait of King George V wearing the crown of India with the words "GEORGE V KING EMPEROR" around it.
