Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Shah Alam II, who was the last ruler of the Scindia dynasty and the Princely state of Gwalior. Despite being a small coin with a value of ⅛ rupee, it was made of silver, which was a valuable metal at the time. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists today, providing a glimpse into the rich history of the Indian princely states and their monetary systems.
