East India Company - 1/12 Anna

Copper 1/12 anna coin issued by the East India Company in 1835 - this was the beginning of uniform coinage across all of India. The 1/12 anna (or 1/3 paisa) was the smallest denomination coin issued by the EIC (from 1835 to 1947) - A rupee had 16 annas, so 1 rupee was equal to 192 of these small coins! This coin replaced the 1 PIE coin, which was minted up to 1833 - and was equal in value. 

These coins have 2 different varieties - based on the reverse. Note the difference in thickness of the outer rim (picture 3).
