Interesting fact

The Pattern 1 Rupee - Victoria (Trial) 1839 made of Silver is a rare and unique coin that was never officially released into circulation. It was created as a trial piece to test the design and production process for a new rupee coin, and only a small number of samples were produced. As a result, it is highly sought after by collectors and is considered a valuable piece of numismatic history.
