1 paisa: aluminium
1 paisa: Bronze
1 paisa: Bronze
1 paisa: Nickel-brass
This one is made of Nickel-brass alloy and was circulated from 1957-1964. It has a diameter of 17mm. This one paisa has the four headed lion symbol at the obverse, and one paisa and date on reverse. We can also see "rupaye ka sauvan bhag" in Hindi which means 1/100th part of one rupee.
One paisa/pice, 1952: horse
This is the copper one paisa, minted circa 1950s. The obverse shows the four headed lion symbol, and the reverse shows a horse, and the year. I have at least 5 such coins.
One pice/paisa , 1943: hole
The one pice or one paisa with the hole was circulated circa 1940s . It has one pice or paisa written in English, Hindi and urdu. And on the other side there is a sort of brocade or design. I have four such coins. This would have been minted under George VI, who was emperor of India at that time. It might be arguable as to which is the reverse and which is the obverse, at least I am not sure of it.
