Indore state coin, AH 1203Interesting fact
The ½ Anna coin from the Princely state of Indore, made of copper and weighing 16g, is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Maharaja Tukoji Rao II, who was known for his efforts to modernize and develop the state's economy. This coin was part of a series of coins issued during his reign that were designed to facilitate trade and commerce within the state and beyond. Despite being a standard circulation coin, it has become a sought-after collector's item due to its historical significance and rarity.
