Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Mohur coin from the Kingdom of Cooch-Behar is that it features a unique blend of Indian and Western design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of Raja Rajendra Narayan, while the reverse side features a depiction of a lion standing on a crown, which was a common motif in Western heraldry. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influences that existed between India and Europe during the time period.
