Comment
Earlier Issue, Crude strike as compared to Y#31.2Interesting fact
The 1 Paisa coin from the Princely state of Baroda, issued during the reign of Sayaji Rao III (1940-1942) and made of copper, features an interesting fact. Despite being a standard circulation coin, it has a relatively low mintage, with only 10,000 coins produced. This scarcity makes it a valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in Indian princely states' coins.
