Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change in India, as the country was transitioning from a collection of princely states to a unified nation. The coin's mintage period, 1902-1938, saw the rise of nationalist movements and the eventual independence of India in 1947. Despite the tumultuous times, the coin remains a symbol of the rich cultural heritage and history of the Princely state of Kishangarh.
