Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Paisa - Shah Alam II (Indore) ND (1787-1788) coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Princely state of Indore. The coin was issued during the reign of Shah Alam II, who was the ruler of the state from 1787 to 1788. During this time, the state was facing political instability and financial difficulties, which led to the minting of coins with lower denominations, such as the 1 Paisa coin, to address the economic challenges. Despite the challenges, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the resilience of the people of Indore during that time.
