Princely state of (Mewar) 1⁄16 Rupee 1928 – Fatteh Singh Rare Silver Coin

🌟 Rare (1928) 1⁄16 Rupee coin from British India
🌟Silver composition (0.95) adds to its collectible value
🌟 Demonetized piece with historical significance
🌟 Features unique milled edges and medal alignment
🌟 Ideal for collectors seeking a piece of colonial-era numismatic heritage

This exceptional 1/16 Rupee silver coin represents a fascinating piece of Indian numismatic history from the princely state of Mewar, struck in 1928 (1985 Vikram Samvat) under the reign of Maharaja Fateh Singh. Composed of 0.95g of pure silver with a compact 12mm diameter, this milled-edge coin exemplifies the refined coinage standards of the pre-independence era.

The coin’s historical significance lies in its origin from Mewar, one of India’s most prominent princely states, during a transformative period in colonial India. As a demonetized piece, it no longer holds face value but has transcended into a cherished artifact for serious collectors. The intricate milling technique and medal alignment demonstrate the technical precision of early 20th-century Indian minting practices.

What makes this coin particularly desirable is its rarity—fractional rupees from princely states are increasingly difficult to locate in the numismatic market. Collectors seeking authentic colonial-era Indian coinage, those interested in Rajasthani history, or investors in precious metals will find this a valuable addition. The coin’s age, silver content, and historical provenance combine to make it an excellent investment piece that transcends typical currency collecting into the realm of cultural heritage preservation.
