The SCWC lists 3 varieties for Anna Series 1/4 rupee. The details are:

KM # 5.1 Large Lion, 1950 (B), 19050 (B) Proof, 1950 (C), 1951 (B), 1951 (C)
KM # 5.2 Larger Date, Large Lion, 1954 (C), 1954 (B) Proof, 1955 (B)
KM # 5.3 Small Lion, 1954 (C), 1955 (C), 1956 (C)

So, there are three different types of 1/4 rupee coins, but for 1954, there will be only 2 different types, as you have rightly mentioned.

Krause is full of errors (you can write a book on it)  and varieties occur only if you have more than one type in the same year

We have a project to improve KM, TO. You are most welcome to contribute. Personally, I would applaud a review of the India chapter.

you will be better off with a new book KM is too far gone to make any sense in trying to salvage it.  The Americans have their red book we should have a similar endeavor but funding remains the biggest thorn in our flesh

Yes , Manoj ji, the 1954 issue of Calcutta mint is found with two types of lions, larger and smaller. If members of this forum wish to see, I'll post the photos.

Ok, I'll do it tomorrow.


Friends,
I am sorry that I could not post the photo as I have no net connections for 5 days. I'll post the pictures as soon as as my net connection is restored. Very sorry for this.

Friends,
As promised, I am posting the photo of 2 types of 1/4 rupee coins minted by Kolkata mint in the year 1954. I may be excused for the late in uploading the photo, as the circumstances that led to this late posting was beyond my control.

Thank you all. Happy hunting.

Thanks a lot for the images. The difference in the size of the Lions is quite distinctive.
