Crudely struck legends may not be full, weight varies from 10.6Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Paisa - Victoria 1858-1899 coin from the Princely state of Bundi is that it features a unique blend of Indian and European design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of Queen Victoria, while the reverse side features a depiction of a Bundi state symbol, the "Bundi Horse," which is a stylized horse with a flowing mane and tail. This blending of cultural motifs reflects the complex history and cultural exchange that occurred between India and Europe during the colonial era.
