Interesting fact
The 1 Paisa coin from the Princely state of Jaipur, featuring Victoria and Madho Singh II, has an interesting fact. Despite being made of copper and weighing only 5 grams, it was still used as a standard circulation coin during its time (1882-1920). This shows that even small, seemingly insignificant coins can hold significant value and play an important role in a region's economy.
