Two Annas One Anna and Half Anna of India 1950 Three Coins Set

This is a three-coin set of early Republic India fractional annas from 1950, covering Half Anna, One Anna and Two Annas in a single lot.

Coins details

• Denominations included: Half Anna, One Anna and Two Annas of India, all dated 1950.
• Period: Early Republic of India, shortly after independence, making these pieces historically important as transitional coinage away from the British Indian issues.
• Metal and type: Standard circulation issues of the time, struck in base metal compositions used for everyday transactions, representing the small-change economy of 1950s India.

Numismatic significance

• These denominations were among the last anna-based coins before India’s full shift toward the decimal paise system, so they capture a key moment in the evolution of Indian currency.
• Collectors value such sets because they conveniently assemble multiple denominations and a single year, useful for type sets, date collections, and thematic displays on early Republic coinage.
