Interesting fact
The Pattern ½ Nazarana Rupee 1865 from the Princely state of Baroda (Indian princely states) made of Silver weighing 5.6 g is an interesting coin because it features a unique blend of Indian and European design elements. The coin's obverse features a portrait of the Baroda ruler, Maharaja Khanderao Gaekwad, in a traditional Indian style, while the reverse features a depiction of the Roman goddess Victoria, reflecting the influence of European colonialism on Indian currency. This fusion of styles is a fascinating example of cultural exchange and highlights the complex history of the Indian subcontinent during the 19th century.
