Comment
Contemporary ND versions of this coin exist.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Paisa (Bahawalpur) ND (1909) coin is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and colonial influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin bears the inscription "Al-Sultan Al-Mu'azzam Shah Alam" in Arabic, indicating the reigning monarch at the time, while the reverse side features the British royal crest and the words "One Paisa" in English. This blend of Islamic and colonial elements reflects the complex history and cultural exchange that took place in the Princely state of Bahawalpur during the British Raj.
