Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in India, specifically during the Indian Rebellion of 1857, also known as the Indian Mutiny or the Sepoy Mutiny. This coin was minted in the Princely state of Gwalior, which was one of the few princely states that remained loyal to the British East India Company during the rebellion. The coin's minting was likely a symbol of the state's allegiance to the British and its commitment to maintaining order and stability in the region.
