½ Rupee - Victoria [Sardar Singh]

The ½ Rupee coin from the Princely state of Jodhpur, minted in 1898, is interesting because it features a portrait of Queen Victoria, who was the Empress of India at the time. This coin was issued during the British colonial era, and it is a unique example of a coin that was minted under the authority of a princely state, rather than the British government. Additionally, the fact that it is made of silver and weighs 5.6 grams makes it a valuable and collectible item among numismatists.
