Interesting fact

The 1 Paisa coin from the Princely state of Ratlam, issued in 1942 during the reign of Ranjit Singh, is interesting because it was made of copper, a metal that was widely used in the production of coins during that time period. Copper was chosen for its durability, affordability, and resistance to corrosion, making it an ideal material for coins that were meant to be used extensively in daily transactions. The fact that this coin was made of copper highlights the resourcefulness and practicality of the Princely state of Ratlam in producing currency that was both functional and cost-effective.
