Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Takka coin from the Princely state of Jodhpur is that it was made of bronze, which was a common material used for coinage in India during the 19th century. The use of bronze for coins was preferred because it was durable, resistant to corrosion, and had a lower intrinsic value than other metals like silver or gold, making it a cost-effective option for producing large quantities of coins. The fact that this coin was made of bronze suggests that it was likely used for everyday transactions and was accessible to a wide range of people in Jodhpur.
