This is a Half Rupee (½ Rupee) coin of Republic India, struck by the Government of India in the pre-decimal era of roughly 1950 to 1956. The piece featured here is a 1950 coin from the Calcutta Mint.
Half Rupee coins from the first years of the Republic are collected because they belong to the short window before decimal coinage arrived, which makes the denomination itself a piece of history. Condition drives value sharply here: a coin with full detail and original surfaces is worth considerably more than a worn example, and the exact year and mint also matter.
