Interesting fact
The 1/12 Anna coin from the Princely state of Dhar, issued in 1887 during the reign of Anand Rao Pawar III, is interesting because it was made of copper, a metal that was widely used for coinage in India during the 19th century, but is now no longer used for currency due to its low value and susceptibility to corrosion.
