Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Paisa coin from the Princely state of Baroda 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 Maharaja's palace, which showcases a mix of Islamic arches and domes, along with Hindu-style sculptures and carvings. This blend of styles reflects the cultural diversity and syncretism that was prevalent in the Indian princely states during the 19th century.
