Comment
Ruler: Ganpat RaoInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Muhammad Akbar II, who was the last ruler of the Princely state of Baroda to issue coins in his own name. This coin, which was minted between 1847 and 1856, features the name of the ruler in Urdu script on one side and the name of the mint, "Baroda," in English on the other. This coin is a rare example of a coin issued by a princely state during the British colonial period in India and is highly sought after by collectors.
