Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Rupee - New Chandori Series ND (1842-1890) from Princely state of Mewar is that it was made of silver, which was a significant departure from the previous coins of the princely state, which were made of copper. This change in material was likely due to the increasing value of silver and the desire to create a coin that was more durable and valuable. The use of silver also gave the coin a distinctive look and feel that set it apart from other coins in circulation at the time.
