Interesting fact
The 1 Paisa coin from the Princely state of Baroda, issued during the reign of Sayaji Rao II in 1840, features a unique design element - a small elephant motif at the bottom of the obverse side. This elephant symbolizes the strength and prosperity of the Baroda state, which was known for its rich agricultural land and flourishing trade.
