Interesting fact

The 2 Paisa coin from the Princely state of Sailana is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in India. The coin was minted between 1880 and 1898, a period when the Indian princely states were transitioning from being independent kingdoms to being part of the British Raj. This coin is a rare example of a coin minted during this time of transition, and its design and materials reflect the cultural and political influences of the time.
