Interesting fact

The 1 Paisa coin from the Kingdom of Kumaon (Indian Hindu Dynasties) made of Copper weighing 5.4 g is interesting because it was used during the reign of Chand Raja, who was known for his military campaigns and territorial expansion, making it a symbol of the kingdom's economic and political power during that time.
