Interesting fact

The ⅛ Rupee coin from the Princely state of Jodhpur, made of Silver and weighing 1.4 grams, is an interesting piece of history because it was minted during the reign of Queen Victoria, who was the longest-reigning British monarch, ruling from 1837 to 1901. This coin is a testament to the influence of the British Empire on the Princely states of India during that time.
