Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Ahalya Bai Sahiba Holkar 1203 (1789) coin from the Princely state of Indore is that it features a unique blend of traditional Indian and European design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of Ahalya Bai Sahiba Holkar, the ruler of Indore, while the reverse side features a stylized image of a lion, which was a common motif in European heraldry. This blending of design styles reflects the cultural exchange and influences that were prevalent during the 18th century in India.
