Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Paisa coin from the Princely state of Pratabgarh is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in India. The coin was issued during the British colonial period, when India was still a collection of princely states ruled by local kings and queens, and the British were gradually taking control of the country. The coin's minting period, 1942-1947, was a particularly significant time in Indian history, as it saw the country's transition from a British colony to an independent nation. The coin's design and production were likely influenced by the political and economic changes taking place during this time, making it a unique and interesting piece of Indian numismatic history.
