Experts regard bahawalpur AH 1343 issues of Rupee and Paisa (Minted in various metals) such as KM#9, KM#9a, Y#13 and Y#14 as modern fabricationsInteresting fact
The 1 Paisa coin from the Princely state of Bahawalpur, issued in 1925 during the reign of Sadiq Muhammad Khan V, is interesting because it was made of copper, a metal that was widely used for coinage in India during that time period. However, it's worth noting that the use of copper for coinage was gradually phased out in the mid-20th century due to its low durability and the risk of corrosion. Today, coins are made from more durable materials like cupro-nickel or stainless steel.
