Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Gadhaiya Paisa coin is that it features a unique blend of Indian and Islamic influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears a depiction of a Hindu deity, while the reverse side features Arabic script and a Islamic-style ornamentation, reflecting the cultural exchange and syncretism that characterized the Chaulukya dynasty's rule in Gujarat during the 11th to 12th centuries.
