Interesting fact
The 1 Paisa coin from the Sur Empire (Indian Sultanates) made of Copper and weighing 20.24g is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Sher Shah Suri, who was a powerful ruler and military leader in the 16th century. He was known for his architectural projects, including the construction of the Old Fort in Delhi, and his coinage reforms, which included the introduction of a new currency system that was based on the silver rupee. The 1 Paisa coin was a part of this system and was widely used during his reign.
