Interesting fact
The 1 Paisa coin from the Princely state of Hyderabad, made of Copper and weighing 11.4g, is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Afzal-ad-Daula (Daulatabad) in 1275-1277 (1859-1861), which was a time of great political and economic change in India, with the British East India Company increasing its influence and control over the subcontinent. Despite this, the Princely state of Hyderabad was able to maintain its independence and issue its own coins, such as this 1 Paisa, which features the name of the ruler and the date of issue in Urdu script.
