Swarupshahi SeriesInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Rupee - Swarupshahi Series ND (1858-1920) from Princely state of Mewar is that it was one of the first coins to feature the image of a Indian princely state ruler, Maharana Shambhu Singh, on its obverse side. This was a departure from the traditional practice of featuring the British monarch's image on Indian coins, and it signified the growing influence and power of the princely states in India during that time.
