Interesting fact

The ½ Pice coin from the Princely state of Gwalior, issued in 1946 during the reign of Madho Rao, features a unique design element - a small elephant motif at the bottom of the reverse side. This tiny elephant is a nod to the cultural and religious significance of the animal in Hinduism and Buddhism, and it adds an interesting touch to the coin's design.
