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. Additionally, the fact that the coin weighs 2.78g suggests that it was designed to be used for everyday transactions, indicating the importance of trade and commerce in the region.
