Interesting fact
The 1 Paisa coin from the Princely state of Baroda, issued during the reign of Anand Rao (1225-1235 or 1810-1820), is interesting because it was made of copper, a metal that was widely used for coinage in India during that time period. Copper was a popular choice for coins because it was abundant, durable, and easy to work with. However, copper coins were also prone to wear and tear, which is why many coins from this era have a smooth, worn appearance. Despite this, the 1 Paisa coin from Baroda remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item, offering a glimpse into the rich history of India's princely states and their monetary systems.
