Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ⅔ Mohur coin from the Princely state of Mewar is that it was minted using a unique blend of gold and other metals, known as "Chandori" gold, which was a proprietary alloy developed by the Mewari rulers. This alloy was known for its durability and resistance to wear and tear, making the coins particularly suitable for circulation and transactional use.
