Interesting fact
The ½ Paisa coin from the Princely state of Rampur (Indian princely states) made of Copper weighing 3.85 g is an interesting piece of history because it was issued during a time when the princely states of India were still using their own currencies, before the Indian rupee was introduced in 1877. This coin is a rare example of the diverse currencies that were used in different parts of India during that time period.
