Interesting fact

The 1 Rupee coin from India - British (British India) made of Silver (.917) weighing 11.66 g, minted during the reign of Queen Victoria (1877-1901) features an interesting fact. The coin's design includes a portrait of Queen Victoria on the obverse side, while the reverse side features a crowned shield with the motto "DIEU ET MON DROIT" (God and my right) written below it. This motto was used by British monarchs since the time of King Richard I and symbolizes the monarch's divine right to rule.
