Interesting fact
The 1 Rupee coin from the Princely state of Indore, minted in 1872 during the reign of Tukoji Rao II, 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 nickel coins that were commonly used in India at that time. The use of silver in the coin's minting process not only added to its value but also made it a symbol of wealth and prosperity. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, offering a glimpse into the rich history of India's princely states and their unique monetary systems.
