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 Western influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of King Rajendra Narayan, while the reverse side features a stylized representation of the Hindu goddess Lakshmi, along with a few English letters and numbers. This fusion of cultural elements reflects the rich history and diversity of the Indian subcontinent during the 18th century.
