Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Hindu architectural styles on its reverse side. The coin's design includes a depiction of the Taj Mahal, which is a famous Islamic monument in India, alongside a Hindu temple and a stepped well, which are both typical features of Hindu architecture. This blend of styles reflects the cultural diversity of the Princely state of Bhavnagar, where both Islam and Hinduism were practiced.
