Comment
- Weight varies 7.2 - 8.2 gramsInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Indian and European design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of Madho Rao, the ruler of the Princely state of Gwalior, while the reverse side features a depiction of a lion, which is a common motif in Indian coinage, surrounded by a wreath of leaves, which is a typical European design element. This blend of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influences that existed between India and Europe during the colonial era.
