Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1964 Indian 50 Paise coin featuring Jawaharlal Nehru is that it was the first coin in India to feature the portrait of a political leader. This coin was issued to commemorate Nehru's 10th anniversary as the Prime Minister of India, and it marked a departure from the traditional practice of featuring only symbols or animals on Indian coins.
