Interesting fact
The 1 Paisa coin from Lunavada Princely State (Indian princely states) made of Copper and weighing 5.74 g is an interesting piece of history. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it was issued during a time when the princely states of India were still under the rule of the British Raj. This coin, in particular, was minted in 1885, and it features a unique blend of Indian and British influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of a crowned bust of Queen Victoria, while the reverse side features a depiction of a lion standing on a crown, surrounded by the inscription "Lunavada" in Devanagari script. This coin is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Indian princely states and their history under British colonial rule.
