The King is shown in profile facing left and is lettered "GEORGE V KING EMPEROR". The reverse is marked: "ONE/RUPEE/INDIA/1916". The base of the box is another 1 Rupee coin for 1919. In between the top coin and the base coin are eight milled edges (only) of other coins. The silver content is roughly .917 (sterling is .925). The box measures 1 1/4 inches in diameter with a depth of 1 1/4 inches. In excellent condition. | |||||||||
