The 1942 One Quarter Anna coin is a fascinating piece of British India history, representing the final year this specific denomination was ever minted. Issued during the height of World War II under the reign of King George VI, its production was stopped immediately after 1942 because the British government faced massive metal shortages and shifted to the holed "1 Pice" coin to save materials
