Comment
Weight varies between 10.7 - 11.6 gramsInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Nazarana Rupee coin from the Princely state of Jaipur is that it features a unique blend of traditional Indian and British colonial influences in its design. The coin's obverse side 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 the coin was minted. This combination of British and Indian elements reflects the complex history of colonialism and princely states in India during the 19th century.
