Interesting fact

The 1 Paisa coin from the Princely state of Baroda, issued during the reign of Sayaji Rao II (1819-1847), features a unique blend of traditional Indian and European design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of the king, while the reverse side features a depiction of a lion, which was a common motif in the princely state's coinage. The use of copper as the material for the coin was a common practice in the region during that time period.
