Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Umed Singh II, who was the ruler of the Princely state of Kotah in India. The coin features an image of Queen Victoria on one side and the other side has the inscription "1 Rupee" in English and "Kotah" in Urdu. The use of both English and Urdu scripts on the coin reflects the cultural and linguistic diversity of the Indian subcontinent during that time. Additionally, the fact that it was made of silver and weighs 11.2 grams makes it a valuable and collectible item for numismatists.
