Interesting fact

The 1 Paisa coin from the Sur Empire (Indian Sultanates) made of Copper and weighing 20.39g is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Sher Shah Suri, who was a powerful Mughal Emperor in the 16th century. Despite being made of copper, this coin was still considered a standard circulation coin and was widely used in trade and commerce during that time.
