Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Paisa coin from Nepal made of Copper is that it was used as a medium of exchange in the country during the reign of Surendra Bikram, who ruled from 1787 to 1802 and again from 1865 to 1880. Despite being made of copper, the coin was valued at a relatively high denomination, reflecting the economic and monetary systems of Nepal during that time. Additionally, the coin's design and inscriptions provide insight into the cultural and religious beliefs of the people of Nepal during the 19th century.
