Interesting fact
The 1 Mohur coin from the Princely state of Dhar, minted in 1943 at the Piran mint, is made of gold and weighs 6.59 grams. This is unusual because most coins of its time and place were made of a base metal like copper or nickel, and very few coins were made of gold. The fact that this coin was made of gold suggests that it may have been a special issue or commemorative coin, possibly minted for a specific event or occasion.
