Interesting fact
The 1 Paisa coin from 1964 was the first coin to feature the national emblem of India, which is a lion standing on the Ashoka Chakra, a wheel with 24 spokes. This emblem was adopted as the national symbol of India after independence from British rule in 1947. The inclusion of the national emblem on the coin was a significant departure from the previous designs of Indian coins, which had typically featured the portrait of a British monarch or other colonial symbols. The use of the national emblem on the 1 Paisa coin was a symbol of India's newfound independence and its commitment to assert its own identity and culture.
