This is 1/12 Anna coin of George VI. This was the smallest currency to be issued in that period. 1/12 Anna was sometimes call the "paai". It is 1/3 of a Pice making it the worth 1/192 of the rupee. Quite a small value. The obverse has floral design around with space for text left in a center circle. The text itself reads "1/12 ANNA" and "INDIA" followed by the year.

On the reverse we have the profile of King George VI wearing the crown of India. The text around reads "GEORGE VI KING EMPEROR".
