Comment
British Occupation CoinageInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of the Amirs of Khairpur, who were known for their strong administrative skills and their efforts to modernize the state. Despite being a small princely state, Khairpur was able to maintain its independence and sovereignty until it was merged with Pakistan in 1947. The coin's design and silver content also reflect the state's rich cultural heritage and economic ties with other regions of the Indian subcontinent.
