Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time when the Princely state of Bikanir was still under the rule of the British Empire, specifically during the reign of Queen Victoria. Despite being issued in the name of Victoria, the coin features the image of Dungar Singh, the ruler of Bikanir at the time. This highlights the unique blend of British and Indian influences that can be seen in the coinage of the Princely states during this period.
