Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it has a unique countermark, the "BIG CROWN" over 1 Rupee, which was added by the British during their occupation of India. This countermark was used to validate the coin for use in the British colonies, and it's a distinct feature that sets this coin apart from other coins of the same era.
