SPECIAL POINTS ABOUT THIS COIN:-

1. 1/12 ANNA coins were printed only two times.
2. They printed Bombay and Madras mints for the first time and for the second time they printed Calcutta mint but in very fewer quantities.
3. The weight difference between two coins in 1835 and 1848 is nearly 0.03 g.
4. The 1/12 ANNA of 1848 was printed only about 1 crore nearly.
5. As they were made of copper most of the coins will be rusted so to find coins in nice UNC condition is very difficult they will easily get rusted.
