Interesting fact
The 1 Paisa coin from the Princely state of Kotah, issued during the reign of Shatrushal Singh II (1894-1897), is interesting because it was made of copper, a metal that was widely used for currency in India during that time period. Copper was chosen for its durability and affordability, making it an ideal material for everyday transactions. The coin's weight of 13 grams also adds to its unique character, as it was not uncommon for coins of that era to vary in weight due to the manual process of minting. This coin's specifications, along with its historical significance, make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in the history of Indian currency.
