Inscription in Nagari

Interesting fact

The 1 Paisa coin from the Princely state of Dungarpur, issued in 1917, features an interesting aspect. The coin's obverse side bears the inscription "Udai Singh 1860" in Devnagari script, indicating the name of the ruler and the year of his reign. This feature showcases the blend of traditional Indian script and the influence of British colonial rule in the princely states of India during that era.
