Interesting fact
The 1 Paisa (Derajat) 1254 (1838) coin from the Empire of Sikh (Indian states) made of Copper weighing 6 g has an interesting fact that it was one of the first coins to be introduced during the reign of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, who was the founder of the Sikh Empire. He introduced a new currency system based on the Mughal currency, and this coin was part of that system. It was used widely in the empire and is now considered a valuable collector's item.
