Slightly larger than many world coin rings, the One Rupee ring offers balanced presence and subtle detail—making it perfect for small to medium-sized hands or for anyone who values understated sophistication with a global story.

Whether you have roots in the Indian subcontinent, a passion for early 20th‑century history, or simply an eye for refined craftsmanship, the British India One Rupee Coin Ring is a wearable artifact of an era that shaped the modern world.

The One Rupee coin at the heart of an empire.

Minted in British India from 1911 through 1939, the One Rupee coin served as the cornerstone of the colonial currency system. Struck in .917 fine silver, it bore two distinct monarchs: King George V (1911–1936) and King George VI (1937–1939). The obverse displays a crowned profile of the reigning king, while the reverse features a delicate wreath encircling the denomination, a design symbolic of Victorian and Edwardian imperial sensibilities carried into the 20th century.

These coins were used across the Indian subcontinent during a time of intense cultural and political change leading up to India’s independence. Today, they are cherished artifacts of a complex history and admired for their refined design and silver purity.

Minted 1911–1939, the One Rupee coin was the backbone of British India’s currency system.

Every ring is individually polished and finished by hand, available in a brilliant polished silver finish for maximum clarity or a rich antique patina that deepens shadows and enhances detail.
