The standard currency of India is rupees. As India was a British concern, until the 50's, there may still be some British coins in circulation. Many coins minted today are of commemorating special people and events.
All genuine British general circulation One Pound coins are 3.15 mm thick. It is possible that one of the many types of fake One Pound coins may be thinner.
There were no British 1/2p, 1p or 2p general circulation coins struck in 1972 because so many 1971 dated pieces had been struck to facilitate decimalisation. However, regular issues resumed in 1973. The only copper/bronze British 1972 coins that were struck were Proof FDC coins.
The King's Norton Metal Company Birmingham (KN) minted many British copper and bronze coins over a period of years.

I have no idea and, it will probably never be known, however, the Royal Mint produced more than 614,881,000 general circulation coins during the reign of Edward VII for use within Britain and the colonies and countries of the British Empire who used the British currency at the time. This figure does not include British coins minted at Mints other than the Royal Mint, non-general circulation coins such as gold Five Pound, Two Pound, Sovereign and Half-Sovereign coins, Proof or especially struck coins, and it does not include coins minted at other mints for the use of other British Empire countries.
There were 1,710,946 1892 British Halfcrown coins minted.
British general circulation Two Pound coins are made from a nickel-brass alloy. In many years, the Royal Mint also produces a Proof in silver FDC Two Pound coin and occasionally, a Proof piedfort in silver FDC Two Pound coin. These coins are not intended for circulation since their value is much greater than Two Pounds.
No Australian coins were in circulation in 1891. Australia got its first installment of coins from the Royal Mint in London in 1910, including the Threepence, Sixpence, Shilling and Florin. The Pennies and Halfpennies followed in 1911. Any coins circulating in Australian prior to 1910 would have been British coins. Many traders minted their own tokens for varying amounts, but these could only be used in the business bearing the name and address of the trader concerned.
