Comment
I own a copper Y#16.2 that weights just 2.75 gramsInteresting fact
The ½ Anna coin from the Princely state of Mewar, issued in 1942 during the reign of Bhupal Singh, features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of the usual depiction of a monarch or a national symbol, the coin bears an image of a 'kumbh' or a sacred pot, which is a significant symbol in Hinduism and Jainism. This coin is a rare example of a princely state coin that showcases the cultural and religious heritage of the region it was issued in.
