Comment
Weight varies between 7 - 12 gramsInteresting 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 bears the inscription "Ranjit Singh Shah-i-Punjab" in Punjabi, while the reverse side features a stylized representation of the Lion of Punjab, which was a symbol of the Sikh Empire. This blend of cultural influences reflects the rich history and diversity of the region, and makes the coin a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
