Interesting fact

The 1 Rupee coin from the Princely state of Karauli, issued in 1852 during the reign of Queen Victoria, is an interesting piece of history. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it was made of silver, which was a significant departure from the standard copper or bronze coins that were commonly used in India at that time. The use of silver in this coin reflects the wealth and prosperity of the Princely state of Karauli during that period.
