Interesting fact

The ½ Anna coin from the Princely state of Indore, made of copper and weighing 20.16g, is interesting because it was issued during the reign of the Holkar dynasty, which was a powerful Maratha dynasty that ruled over the region of Indore in central India. The coin's design features the iconic Holkar emblem, which includes a pair of crossed swords and a shield with the family's crest. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists and historians interested in the history of the Maratha Empire.
