Herrli-06.100.11 in The coins of the sikhs - Hans HerrliInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Paisa coin from the Empire of Sikh (Indian states) is that it features a unique blend of traditional Indian and British design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of Ranbir Singh, the Maharaja of Kashmir, while the reverse side features a depiction of the British royal crown, highlighting the colonial influence on the coin's design. This blending of styles reflects the complex history of the region and the cultural exchange that took place during the colonial era.
