Interesting fact

The 1 Nazarana Paisa coin from the Princely state of Jaipur featuring Edward VIII and Man Singh II, made of copper and weighing 6.44g, is a rare and unique coin that was minted in 1936. It's interesting to note that this coin was minted during a time when India was still under British colonial rule, and the fact that it features both a British monarch (Edward VIII) and an Indian prince (Man Singh II) on the same coin highlights the complex political dynamics of the time. Additionally, the fact that it's a non-circulating coin makes it even more rare and valuable to collectors.
