Interesting fact

The 1 Paisa coin from the Princely state of Dungarpur, issued in 1944 during the reign of Lakshman Singh, is interesting because it was made of copper, a metal that was not commonly used for currency in India at that time. Most coins during this period were made of silver or other metals, so the use of copper for this coin is a unique feature.
