Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Falus (Peshawar) 1265 (1849) coin from the Empire of Sikh (Indian states) is that it was made of copper, which was a common material used for coinage during that time period. Copper was chosen for its durability and affordability, as it was a relatively inexpensive metal compared to other options like gold or silver. Despite being made of a less valuable metal, the Falus coin still held significant value and was widely used in trade and commerce throughout the region. Today, coins like this are highly sought after by collectors and can be valuable additions to any collection of historical currency.
