Pattern Off - Metal (in Copper) of ½ Rupee made before circulation issue.
Interesting fact
The Pattern ½ Rupee (Copper Pattern - Sayaji Rao III) 1946 (1890) from Princely state of Baroda (Indian princely states) made of Copper is an interesting coin because it was minted during a time of great change in India. The coin was minted in 1890, just a few years before India gained independence from British colonial rule in 1947. The coin's design features the image of Sayaji Rao III, the ruler of the Princely state of Baroda, and the coin's unique blend of Indian and Western influences reflects the cultural and political shifts that were taking place in India during this time period. Additionally, the fact that it was made of copper, a metal that was widely used in Indian coinage during this period, adds to its historical significance.
