Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Mohur coin from the Princely state of Jaipur is that it features a unique blend of traditional Indian and British design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of Queen Victoria, while the reverse side features a depiction of Raja Ram Singh II, the ruler of Jaipur at the time. This fusion of styles reflects the complex history of Jaipur during the 19th century, when the princely state was under the influence of British colonial rule.
