Interesting fact

The Ram Singh II coin from the Princely state of Jaipur was the first coin to feature the image of a ruler from the Jaipur dynasty. This was a significant departure from the previous coins issued by the state, which had featured images of Hindu deities or other symbols. The introduction of the ruler's image on the coin was seen as a symbol of the state's independence and sovereignty.
