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.

This stainless steel 25 paise coin was introduced as a replacement for the earlier nickel coin for the same denomination. This happened along with replacement of the 10 paise, 50 paise, and the 1 rupee coin. On the obverse, there is the Ashoka Pillar on top of the numeral 25 that indicates the denomination.

On the reverse, we can see the Indian rhino with no other text than the minting year.
