Interesting fact

The ½ Paisa coin from the Princely state of Mewar (Indian princely states) made of Copper weighing 1.58 g is interesting because it is a rare example of a coin that was issued by a princely state during the British colonial era in India. The coin features the image of Bhupal Singh, the ruler of Mewar, and has a unique design that sets it apart from other coins issued by the British Raj. Additionally, the fact that it is made of copper and has a relatively low weight makes it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
