The 468th Bombardment Group was a B-29 Superfortress unit stationed at Kharagpur, India, as part of the XX Bomber Command during the early strategic bombing campaign against Japan. Officers' messes and bars on remote forward bases frequently issued their own scrip to manage credit and liquor rations — official currency was too valuable, too scarce, and too easily drained from the post by visiting personnel or theft.
The anna denomination places this firmly within the British Indian monetary system then in local use. Four annas equaled one quarter rupee — a practical price point for a drink.
