Composition: These coins were made of Pure
Nickel, not silver. While earlier years
(pre-1946) contained silver, the 1947 mintage was transitioned to nickel due to high silver costs.
• The "Tiger" Design: The reverse side shows
the famous Bengal Tiger, a design that
transitioned into the first coins of independent India.
• Rarity: 1947 is considered a common year
because over 100 million of these were minted. It is not considered "rare" unless it
Price negotiable
