Interesting fact
The 1 Paisa coin from the Princely state of Jaora, issued during the reign of Muhammad Ismail Khan in 1865, features a unique blend of Islamic and Western architectural styles on its reverse side. The coin's design includes a depiction of a mosque, which reflects the Islamic influence on the region, alongside a Western-style archway and a pair of flanking columns, which were commonly used in British colonial architecture. This blending of styles is a testament to the cultural diversity and syncretism that characterized the Indian princely states during the 19th century.
