Interesting fact
The 1 Paisa coin from the Princely state of Gwalior, issued during the reign of Jayaji Rao (Ujjain) between 1865 and 1868, features a unique design element - a small elephant motif at the bottom of the coin's obverse side. This elephant symbol was a common feature on coins issued by the Gwalior state during that period, and it represents the state's association with the mythological Hindu god Ganesha, who is often depicted riding an elephant. This intricate design detail not only adds to the coin's aesthetic appeal but also highlights the rich cultural heritage of the Princely state of Gwalior.
