Comment
The obv. image is shown upside downInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of British and Indian influences in its design. The obverse side bears the image of Queen Victoria, while the reverse side features a portrait of Maharaja Madho Singh II, the ruler of Jaipur at the time. This combination of British colonial and Indian royal elements makes the coin a fascinating piece of history.
