Weight varies between 10.7 to 11.6 gtamsInteresting fact
The coin is a rare and interesting piece, and here's one fascinating fact about it: The 1 Rupee coin from the Princely state of Tonk, issued during the reign of Mohammad Ibrahim Ali Khan (1875-1898), features a unique blend of Islamic and Western architectural styles in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a mosque with a large dome and minarets, while the reverse side features a crowned shield with the British royal crest, surrounded by a wreath of roses. This blending of styles reflects the cultural and historical context of the Princely state of Tonk, which was a Muslim-ruled state under British colonial rule.
