Interesting fact

The interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Wakhat Singhji, who was the ruler of the Princely state of Lunavada in India during the 19th and early 20th centuries. The coin is made of copper and weighs 7.53 grams, which was a common weight for coins of its time and denomination. Despite being a standard circulation coin, it is now a rare and valuable collector's item due to its historical significance and the fact that it is no longer in circulation.
