The 1946 Indian Quarter Rupee coin is a remarkable piece of history, minted during the final years of British rule in India. This vintage coin showcases a striking image of a tiger, symbolizing strength and courage, with the words “Quarter Rupee” inscribed in English and Hindi. Below the tiger, the word “INDIA” and the year “1946” are clearly visible, marking its origin in the pre-independence era.
Made from nickel, this coin represents the transitional period of Indian numismatics, when traditional designs began reflecting Indian motifs alongside colonial structures. The tiger, an iconic representation of Indian wildlife, adds both cultural and symbolic value to the coin.
