1918(B) British India One Rupee – George V King Emperor – NGC MS 62 Certified Silver Coin

This certified 1918(B) British India One Rupee silver coin has been graded MS 62 (Mint State) by NGC, confirming its uncirculated status and authenticating its origin from the Bombay Mint (denoted by the "B" mintmark).

Like all King George V-era Rupees, the obverse depicts the crowned portrait of George V, King Emperor, struck in 91.7% silver — the standard fineness for British India Rupees of this period. An MS 62 grade indicates a coin with full mint luster and no wear from circulation, though it may show a few more contact marks or minor handling marks than higher Mint State grades — a common and expected characteristic for coins of this age and denomination.

The coin is encapsulated in NGC's protective holder, with a certification label displaying the date, mint designation, assigned grade, and a unique verifiable certification number (3348428-012), allowing buyers to confirm authenticity directly through NGC's certification lookup.

Why this coin matters for your collection:

• Third-party certified by NGC — no guesswork on authenticity or grade
• 1918(B) is a historically significant WWI-era issue from British India
• MS 62 represents genuine uncirculated condition, increasingly hard to source for pre-1920 British India silver
• Ideal for collectors assembling a date run or type set of George V silver Rupees

This 1918(B) NGC MS 62 Rupee offers collectors an accessible entry point into certified, uncirculated British India silver coinage, backed by verifiable third-party grading.
