Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change in India, as the country was transitioning from a British colony to an independent nation. The coin features the image of George V, who was the King of England at the time, but also includes the name of the local ruler, Muhammad Ibrahim Ali Khan, reflecting the complex political landscape of the Princely states during this period.
