Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Rupee 1804 coin from the Princely state of Broach is that it features a unique blend of Indian and European design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of a lion, which is a common motif in Indian coinage, while the reverse side features a crowned shield with the initials "B" and "S" (for Broach and Silver) in a style reminiscent of European heraldry. This blending of design elements reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between India and Europe during the colonial period.
