Interesting fact
The 50 Naye Paise coin was introduced in 1957 and was the first coin to feature the national emblem of India, which is a lion standing on the Ashoka Chakra, a wheel with 24 spokes. This emblem was adopted after India gained independence from British rule in 1947 and was used on various coins and currency notes issued by the Reserve Bank of India. The use of the national emblem on the 50 Naye Paise coin was a significant departure from the previous coinage system, which featured the portrait of British monarchs.
