Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Rupee - Akbar Shah II 2-1221 (1806-1836) coin from the Princely state of Jaipur is that it was made of silver, which was a significant departure from the usual copper or bronze used in the production of Indian coins at that time. This indicates that the ruling family of Jaipur, the Kachwaha Rajputs, had a strong economy and were able to afford the use of more valuable materials in their currency.
