Owner Comments:

This is a two year type that was 11.66 gms and 50% silver purity - matching the then British India Rupee in weight but not purity (This would match the 1940-1945 Rupee). This the the more common H mint. Prior to 1920, the Indian Rupee was used in the region along with the German Rupie which traded in Tanzania and was annexed into East Africa post 1919.
