Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Rupee coin from the Princely state of Baroda is that it was made of silver, which was a significant departure from the standard coins of the British Indian Empire, which were made of copper or bronze. This indicates that the Princely state of Baroda had a higher level of economic development and was able to produce coins with a higher value.
