Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ½ Rupee coin from the Princely state of Bundi is that it features a unique blend of Indian and Western design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of King George V, while the reverse side features a depiction of the Bundi state's symbol, a stylized elephant, along with the coin's denomination and year of issue. This fusion of styles reflects the blending of cultural influences that occurred during the British colonial period in India.
