Srinagar MintInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Paisa coin from the Princely State of Jammu and Kashmir is that it was minted during the reign of Maharaja Ranbir Singh, who was known for his efforts to modernize the state and promote economic development. The coin's design features the Maharaja's name and title in Urdu, as well as the date of minting in the Islamic calendar. Despite being made of copper, the coin was valued at half a paisa, which was a significant denomination in the princely state's currency system at the time.
