Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ¼ Rupee ND (1858-1920) coin from the Princely state of Mewar is that it features a unique blend of traditional Indian and European design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of a crowned bust of the Mewar ruler, Maharana Shambhu Singh, while the reverse side features a depiction of the state's symbol, the "Panchangula" or "five-headed snake", surrounded by a wreath. This blend of traditional Indian iconography with European-style portraiture reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred during the colonial era.
