Great Cities Collection: Pink City Jaipur (Black Box)

Jaipur, the pink city, is just down the road from the Taj Mahal, and the final stop along India’s famous Golden Triangle route. The Golden Triangle crosses deserts, winds past pilgrimage sites and military forts, and gives visitors a short but varied taste of all India has to offer. This coin, struck in the final years of the British Raj in Jaipur, has seen it all–the colonial era, the birth of modern India, and now travelers from Agra and New Delhi that bring their
own stories to the already rich city.
