Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Rupee coin from the Kingdom of Cooch-Behar is that it features a unique blend of Indian and European design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of King Narendra Narayan, while the reverse side features a depiction of the Hindu goddess Lakshmi, along with a few European-style ornaments and decorations. This fusion of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influences that were prevalent during the time period in which the coin was minted.
