Weight varies between 10.7 and 11.6 gramsInteresting fact
The 1 Rupee coin from the Princely state of Gwalior, issued during the reign of Jayaji Rao (1865-1871), features a unique design element - a small crescent moon and a five-pointed star on the obverse side, which are symbols of Islam and Hinduism respectively. This blending of religious symbols reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the Indian princely states during that time.
