The 468th Bombardment Group was a B-29 Superfortress unit based at Kharagpur, India, operating under XX Bomber Command during the early strategic bombing campaign against Japan. Officers' mess tokens and bar chits of this type were informal scrip — issued to control credit and limit currency exposure on base, particularly where local currency was both scarce and subject to wartime exchange complications.
The anna denomination places this firmly within the British Indian monetary framework still in use across the subcontinent at the time. Two annas was a trivial sum but enough for a drink at the bar.
