Comment
Weight varies between 5.35 to 5.88 gramsInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Rupee - Shah Alam II ND (1774) coin from the Princely state of Indore is that it was made of silver, which was a significant departure from the usual copper or bronze used in the production of coins during that time period. This decision to use silver was likely made to commemorate a special occasion or to signify the importance of the coin. Additionally, the coin's weight of 5.51 grams is relatively heavy compared to other coins of similar denominations, which makes it stand out even more.
