Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Paisa coin from the Princely state of Bundi is that it was minted during the reign of Edward VII, who was the King of the United Kingdom from 1901 to 1910. This coin was part of a series of coins minted by the Princely states of India during the British colonial period, and it features an image of the King on one side and the Bundi state emblem on the other. The use of the image of the British monarch on Indian coins was a common practice during this time, as the Princely states were under British suzerainty. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item today, and it serves as a reminder of the complex history of India's monetary system during the colonial era.
