Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Pice coin from the Princely state of Gwalior is that it was minted during the reign of Madho Rao, who was a minor at the time, and therefore, his name appears on the coin along with the regnal year 1956-1958, even though the coin was actually minted between 1899-1901. This is a unique feature of this coin, as it highlights the complexities of the monetary system during the princely states era in India.
