Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Anna coin from the Princely State of Jammu and Kashmir is that it features a unique blend of traditional Indian and European design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of Ranbir Singh, the Maharaja of Jammu and Kashmir, while the reverse side features a depiction of a stag, which was a common motif in European coinage during the 19th century. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influences that were present in the princely states of India during that time period.
