Interesting fact
The 1 Paisa coin from the Princely state of Baroda, issued during the reign of Khande Rao (1281-1285 or 1865-1869), is interesting because it was made of copper, a metal that was widely used for coinage in India during that time period. Copper was a popular choice for coins because it was abundant, durable, and relatively inexpensive compared to other metals. The use of copper for coins also made it easier for people to distinguish between different denominations, as copper coins were typically smaller and lighter than those made of other metals. Additionally, the fact that this coin weighs 7.75 grams suggests that it was a relatively large coin for its time, which could have made it more practical for everyday transactions.
