Interesting fact
The 1 Paisa coin from the Sikh Empire (1822-1830) is interesting because it was made of copper, a metal that was widely used in the production of coins during that time period. Copper was chosen for its durability and resistance to corrosion, making it an ideal material for coins that were meant to be used extensively in trade and commerce. The fact that this coin was made of copper highlights the resourcefulness and practicality of the Sikh Empire in their choice of materials for currency.
