Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅛ Rupee ND (1858-1920) coin from the Princely state of Mewar is that it was made of silver, which was a significant departure from the standard copper or bronze coins that were commonly used in India at the time. The use of silver in the coin's minting process not only added to its value but also made it stand out from other coins in circulation.
