One interesting fact about the ½ Paisa coin from the Princely state of Sitamau is that it was minted during the reign of Shradul Singh in 1899, but it was not issued for circulation until 1956, a year before the Indian government demonetized the use of princely state coins. This coin is a rare example of a coin that was minted during the British colonial era but was not circulated until after India gained independence.
