Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ½ Kori coin from the Princely state of Nawanagar is that it was minted during the reign of Muzaffar Shah III, who was known for his efforts to modernize and develop the state. Despite being a small princely state, Nawanagar was able to maintain its independence and sovereignty until it was merged with the Dominion of India in 1948. The coin's silver content and unique design make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in the history of the Indian subcontinent.
