A ring steeped in Victorian-era history.

Forged from a genuine British India One Rupee coin, this ring carries the elegance and heritage of the late 19th century. Minted during the reign of Queen Victoria between 1847 and 1901, these coins were struck in .917 fine silver and circulated widely throughout the Indian subcontinent as the backbone of British colonial currency.

Each ring preserves the coin’s remarkable design details—the crowned bust of young or mature Queen Victoria on one side and an intricate wreath and denomination on the other. With its balanced size and graceful proportions, the British India One Rupee Coin Ring is ideal for small to medium-sized hands or anyone who appreciates understated historical sophistication.

Whether you have roots in the Indian subcontinent, a passion for Victorian history, or an eye for fine craftsmanship, this ring offers a tangible connection to an era that shaped nations.

A Victorian-era artifact, reimagined.

Forged from a genuine British India One Rupee coin (1847–1901), this ring preserves Queen Victoria’s portrait and the coin’s intricate wreath design in fine detail.

Balanced in size and weight, it’s perfect for small to medium-sized hands and for those who appreciate understated elegance with historic roots.

The currency of an empire.

The British India One Rupee coin was first minted in 1847 and continued through the end of Queen Victoria’s reign in 1901. Struck in .917 fine silver, the coin served as the cornerstone of the Indian colonial economy and was a unifying symbol of British administration across the subcontinent.

Coins from this era carried two distinct portraits of Queen Victoria: the youthful “Young Head” portrait used in the earlier years, and the stately “Mature Head” portrait in the later issues. The reverse features a beautifully detailed wreath surrounding the denomination, reflecting Victorian design sensibilities and the fusion of British and Indian iconography.

Today, these coins are coveted for their historical importance and artistry. When transformed into a ring, the One Rupee coin becomes a wearable artifact of a formative era in global history.

Minted between 1847 and 1901 in .917 fine silver, the One Rupee coin was the backbone of British India’s currency system.

Featuring Queen Victoria’s portrait and a detailed wreath design, these coins are now prized pieces of Victorian heritage.

Forged with care, preserving every detail.

Each ring begins as a genuine British India One Rupee coin, selected for its condition and character. Using a multi-stage hand-forging process, we shape the coin into a ring while retaining the fine details of Queen Victoria’s profile, the reverse wreath design, and the original lettering.

No shortcuts, no casting. Each piece is individually forged, polished, and finished by hand in your choice of bright polished silver for a radiant shine or a subtle antique patina that adds depth and emphasizes the coin’s intricate designs.

Slightly smaller in diameter than some of our other world coin rings, the British India One Rupee Coin Ring is especially well-suited for small or medium-sized hands—or anyone who prefers a refined, historically rich design.

Every ring is hand-forged from a genuine One Rupee coin.

Each preserves Queen Victoria’s portrait and the reverse wreath in clear relief. Finished individually in polished or antique patina, it’s a piece of Victorian history you can wear daily.
