| Additional information |
French India issued no 4 Annas brass coinage in 2021 — the territory was formally absorbed into the Indian Union in 1962, ending all French Indian coin production decades earlier. This piece is almost certainly a modern fantasy strike or restrike with no historical monetary authority behind it.
