What Wikipedia says

An anna (or ānna) was a currency unit formerly used in British India, equal to ⁠1/16⁠ of a rupee. It was subdivided into four pices or twelve pies (thus there were 192 pies in a rupee). When the rupee was decimalised and subdivided into 100 (new) paise, one anna was therefore equivalent to ⁠6+1/4⁠ paise.
