Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in India. The coin was minted in 1905-1906, during the reign of Dulip Singh, the last Maharaja of the Sikh Empire. This was a period of significant political and social turmoil, as the British Empire was expanding its influence in India and the Sikh Empire was struggling to maintain its independence. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a testament to the rich cultural and economic heritage of the Sikh Empire and its legacy in the region.
