Weight varies: 3.00-4.00 grams.Interesting fact
The ½ Paisa coin from the Princely state of Rampur (Indian princely states) made of Copper weighing 3.46 g is an interesting piece of history, as it was issued during a time when the princely states of India were still minting their own coins before the country's independence in 1947. The coin's design, featuring the Sunth symbol, is a unique aspect of this particular coin. The Sunth symbol is a stylized representation of the Sun god and was used as a symbol of the princely state of Rampur. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in the history of Indian coinage.
