Interesting fact
The 1 Dhinglo - Vibhaji 978 (1850) coin from the Princely state of Nawanagar is interesting because it was made of copper, which was a common material used for coinage in India during the 19th century. However, what makes this coin stand out is that it weighs 12.5 grams, which is relatively heavy for a coin of its size and denomination. This suggests that the coin may have been intended for use in trade or commerce, rather than as a token for small transactions. Additionally, the fact that it was issued in 1850, during a time of great change and upheaval in India, makes it a unique piece of history.
