Comment
Bilva leaf and pennant almost entirely off flan in pictured specimen.Interesting fact
The ½ Anna coin from the Princely state of Indore, made of copper and weighing 16.5g, is interesting because it was issued during the reign of the Holkar dynasty, which was a powerful Maratha dynasty that ruled over much of western and central India, including the state of Indore, from the 18th to the 20th century. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the cultural and political influences of the time, making it a valuable piece of history for collectors and historians.
