This exceptional 1 Rupee silver coin originates from the Princely State of Mewar, one of India’s most historically significant kingdoms. Issued during the reign of Maharaja Fateh Singh (1885-1930), this numismatic treasure dates to 1928 in the Vikram Samvat calendar, representing a fascinating period when Indian princely states maintained their own monetary systems. The coin features authentic milled craftsmanship with a classic round 30mm diameter and impressive 10.85-gram weight of pure silver, adhering to the traditional Rupee standard that circulated throughout the 1760-1943 era.

As a demonetized piece, this coin has transitioned from everyday currency to a highly coveted collectible, making it increasingly rare in quality condition. Mewar silver coins are particularly sought after by numismatists and Indian history enthusiasts due to their limited mintage and historical significance during the pre-independence era. The coin serves as a tangible connection to India’s princely heritage and the intricate economic systems that flourished before modern unification. Collectors value pieces like this for their authentic silver content, distinctive regional provenance, and the compelling narrative of a bygone era. This is an excellent addition to any numismatic collection focused on Indian history or princely state coinage.
