Comment
Weight varies, Varieties exists.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Paisa coin from the Maratha Empire is that it features an image of Chhatrapati Sivaji, the founder of the Maratha Empire, on one side, and an image of a horse on the other side. This design was chosen to symbolize the importance of cavalry in Maratha warfare and to highlight the empire's military prowess.
