Interesting fact
The ⅛ Rupee coin from the Princely state of Jaipur, featuring Victoria and Madho Singh II, has an interesting fact that it was made of silver, which was a significant departure from the standard copper or nickel used in other coins of the time. This choice of material was likely due to the desire to create a coin that would stand out and be easily recognizable, and it adds an extra layer of historical and numismatic interest to the coin.
