Interesting fact

The 1 Dhinglo coin from the Princely state of Nawanagar was unique in that it was one of the few coins in the Indian princely states to feature a portrait of a ruler, Jaswant Singh, on one side and a symbol of the state, a swastika, on the other. This coin was minted in 1899 and was used as a standard circulation coin in the princely state of Nawanagar.
