Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ½ Paisa coin from the Princely state of Bundi is that it was minted during a time of great change in India. The coin was minted from 1916 to 1935, during which India was under British colonial rule. The coin features an image of King George V, who was the Emperor of India at the time. This coin is a unique piece of history that reflects the complex relationship between India and Britain during that period.
