This exceptional 1 Rupee silver coin represents a significant piece of Indian numismatic history, issued by the princely state of Mewar during the reign of Maharaja Fateh Singh (1885-1930). Minted in 1928 (1985 Vikram Samvat calendar), this circulation coin showcases the craftsmanship and sovereignty of one of India's most prominent feudal kingdoms. Composed of pure silver weighing 10.85 grams with a 30mm diameter, the coin exhibits medal alignment and displays the refined milled technique characteristic of early 20th-century Indian coinage. What makes this coin particularly desirable is its status as a demonetized currency, transforming it from everyday tender into a treasured collectible. The Mewar state coins are increasingly sought after by serious numismatists due to their limited mintage and historical significance during the pre-independence era. This piece serves as a tangible connection to India's princely state period, capturing the artistry and authority of a bygone era. For collectors interested in Indian princely coinage, regional history, or silver bullion investments, this authentic coin represents both cultural heritage and monetary value—a true gem for those building specialized collections of Indian numismatic treasures. #
