88-years old Coin.

While digging around my grandma's room, I came upon this dirty big coin. On peering closely, I saw that it was a Re. 1 coin from 1918, way before India became a sovereign country. It has the picture of George V on one side, and the words "One Rupee India 1918" on the other. All in all, it seems very aristocratic, pretty much like those British coins.

From what my grandma tells me, the coin is supposed to be pure silver. It tarnished over the past century.
