Interesting fact

The 2 Paisa coin from the Princely state of Chhota-Udaipur is interesting because it was made of copper, which was a common material used for coinage in India during the 19th century. However, what makes this coin stand out is that it was issued during the reign of Motisinghji, who was a notable ruler of the princely state and known for his efforts in modernizing the state's economy and infrastructure. This coin is a tangible representation of the economic and political changes that were taking place in India during that time period.
