Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Paisa coin from the Empire of Sikh (Indian states) is that it features a unique blend of Indian and Islamic influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features a depiction of the Sikh guru, Guru Nanak, while the reverse side features a representation of the Islamic crescent moon and star, which was a common motif in Sikh coinage during this period. This blending of religious symbols reflects the diverse cultural and religious influences that existed in the Empire of Sikh during the 19th century.
