The British India One Pice is a small bronze coin from the late colonial period, easily recognised by the hole punched through its centre. The holed pice belongs to the King George VI era and circulated in the 1940s, in the final years of British India coinage.
Holed pice coins are popular with collectors of British India minor coinage because they sit at the very bottom of the old rupee-anna-pice system, yet they survive in widely varied condition. Bright examples with their original bronze lustre are far scarcer than the well-worn circulated ones most people come across.
What a given piece is worth depends heavily on its grade, mint and how much original surface remains — a lustrous UNC coin sits well above a cleaned or heavily circulated one, and the exact year matters too.
