Interesting fact
The ½ Paisa coin from the Princely state of Gwalior, issued in 1926 during the reign of Jayaji Rao, features a unique design element - a small elephant motif at the bottom of the reverse side. This elephant symbolizes good luck and prosperity, which was a common theme in Indian culture and coinage during that era.
