Interesting fact
The 1 Rupee coin from the Princely state of Khairpur (Indian princely states) made of Silver is interesting because it was issued during a time when the British East India Company was gradually taking control of India, and the Princely states were struggling to maintain their independence. Despite this, the Amirs of Khairpur were able to issue their own coins, demonstrating their desire for self-governance and independence.
