Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Paisa - Ranjit Singh ND (1830) coin is that it features a unique blend of Indian and Western design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of a lion, which is a common motif in Western heraldry, while the reverse side features a depiction of the Hindu goddess Lakshmi, highlighting the cultural influences of the Indian subcontinent. This fusion of design elements reflects the rich cultural diversity of the Empire of Sikh and its history of cross-cultural exchange.
