Gwalior Fort MintInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Paisa - Jayaji Rao ("Tegh Shahi" paisa) ND (1843-1886) coin from the Princely state of Gwalior is that it was made of copper, which was a common material used for coinage during that time period. However, it's worth noting that the use of copper for coinage was gradually phased out in the late 19th century as it was deemed to be less durable than other metals.
