Interesting fact
The 1 Paisa coin from the Princely state of Gwalior, issued during the reign of Jayaji Rao in 1880, features a unique design element - a small crescent moon and a five-pointed star on the obverse side, which represents the Islamic influence on the princely state. This blend of Islamic and Western design elements is a distinct characteristic of coins from the Gwalior state and sets it apart from other coins issued by Indian princely states during that time.
