Interesting fact

The 1 Paisa coin from the Princely state of Baroda (Indian princely states) is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in India. The coin was minted between 1847 and 1856, a period when the British East India Company's rule in India was coming to an end and the British Raj was taking over. This coin is a symbol of the transition from the old princely states to the modern nation-state of India.
