Interesting fact
The 1 Paisa coin from the Princely state of Baroda, issued during the reign of Sayaji Rao III (1884-1893) and circulated between 1941-1950, features an interesting design element - a portrait of the king on the obverse side, surrounded by a wreath of cotton flowers and leaves. This design was a nod to the region's rich agricultural heritage and the importance of cotton as a cash crop.
