Interesting fact

The ½ Mohur coin from the Princely state of Jodhpur, minted during the reign of George V (Umaid Singh) between 1918 and 1935, is made of gold and weighs 5.54 grams. This coin is interesting because it is a rare example of a gold coin that was used as a standard circulation coin, rather than a commemorative or collectible coin. Additionally, the fact that it was minted in a princely state, which was a semi-autonomous region within British India, adds to its historical and cultural significance.
