Comment
Ruler: Maharaj Shivaji Rao HolkarInteresting fact
The ½ Paisa coin from the Princely state of Indore, made of Copper, is interesting because it was issued during a time of great change in India. In 1944, India was still under British colonial rule, but the movement for independence was gaining momentum. The coin's issuance in 1887, during the reign of the Holkar dynasty, which ruled Indore, also highlights the rich cultural and historical heritage of the region. Additionally, the use of copper as a material for the coin was a common practice in India during that time, and it adds to the coin's unique character.
