Interesting fact

The Paisa - Dulhe Singh 1944 (1887) coin from the Princely state of Sailana is interesting because it was issued during a time of great change in India. The coin was minted in 1887, just a few years before India gained independence from British rule in 1947. The coin's design, which features a portrait of Dulhe Singh, the ruler of Sailana, and the name of the state in Hindi and Urdu, reflects the blending of traditional Indian and colonial influences that was common during this time period. Additionally, the fact that it is made of copper and weighs 10.6 grams makes it a unique and valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in the history of Indian currency.
