Comment

Jankoji Rao (1827-1843); Lashkar mint.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Jankoji Rao, who was a prominent ruler of the Princely state of Gwalior in India. He was known for his efforts to modernize the state and promote trade, which led to the minting of this coin as a standardized form of currency. The coin's design features the symbol of the Princely state, which includes a crescent moon and a star, and its silver content makes it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
