Interesting fact
The ½ Paisa coin from the Princely state of Baroda, issued during the reign of Khande Rao (1275-1277 or 1859-1861) is interesting because it was made of copper, a metal that was widely used for currency in India during that time period, but is now no longer used for modern-day currency due to its low value and durability compared to other metals.
