Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Pice coin from India, minted during the reign of Edward VII (1904-1910), is that it was designed by the renowned British artist and sculptor, Benedetto Pistrucci. Pistrucci's design features a portrait of King Edward VII on the obverse (front) side of the coin, while the reverse (back) side depicts a crowned shield with the British coat of arms. Pistrucci's work on the coin's design was highly praised for its artistic merit and attention to detail, and the coin remains a popular collector's item among numismatists today.
