Interesting fact

The ½ Paisa coin from the Princely state of Sailana, issued in 1944, features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of the usual depiction of a monarch or a national symbol, it showcases a picture of a famous horse, "Dulhe Singh," which was owned by the ruling family of Sailana. This coin is a rare and interesting example of a coin that commemorates a significant historical figure or event from the princely state's history.
