Princely State of Bundi 1/2 Paisa (Dagger Mark)

This ½ Paisa coin from the Princely State of Bundi, issued between 1906 and 1919, is a fascinating artifact from British India’s Edward VII era. Struck during the reign of Maharao Raja Raghubir Singh (1869-1927), the coin follows the Vikram Samvat calendar and represents Bundi’s legacy as a warrior state. The obverse prominently features a Katar (a traditional dagger), a symbol of valor and Rajput heritage. Bundi, which existed as a princely state from 1608 to 1949, played a significant role in Indian history before merging with independent India. This historically significant and collectible coin is a valuable addition to any collector’s collection.
