it must be a quarter anna

But...besides that bull missing a leg...
the entire bull design and spacing on the coin seems different.

Is it simply a really bad fake or is it some variety or some other coin altogether ?
There are several varieties listed in the Numista sheet for year 1943

​Don't you worry, it's not a fake. Here's your coin:



It's Numista's mistake. Numista has put all the subnumbers together under 1 listing. But when the differences between the subnumbers are so big it's much better to make a separate listing for each subnumber:


KM# 32.1: Date on obverse, bull is lying down.


KM# 32.3: Date on reverse, bull is standing.


KM# 32.4: Date on reverse, bull is lying down (this is your coin: the leg is not missing, the second front leg is under the bull's body).


KM# 32.5: Date on reverse, bull is lying down, cross with a dot in each corner flanking "Indore" (under the bull).
