This exceptional 1 Rupee silver coin was minted in 1928 (Vikram Samvat 1985) by the princely state of Mewar under the reign of Maharaja Fateh Singh, who ruled from 1885-1930. Composed of pure silver and weighing 10.85 grams with a 30mm diameter, this milled coin represents an important piece of pre-independence Indian numismatic history. As a standard circulation coin from a princely state, this rupee holds significant historical value, capturing a pivotal era when Indian kingdoms maintained their own monetary systems. The coin has since been demonetized, elevating its status as a collectible artifact rather than currency. What makes this piece particularly desirable for numismatists is its rarity—coins from Mewar's princely mint are increasingly difficult to locate, especially in preserved condition. This silver rupee serves as a tangible connection to India's feudal heritage and the transition toward modern India. Collectors value such pieces for their historical authenticity, precious metal content, and the fascinating story of Maharaja Fateh Singh's reign. Perfect for serious numismatic collections, Indian history enthusiasts, or precious metal investors seeking historically significant pieces with genuine intrinsic and collector value. #
