Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Rupee (Copper Pattern Piedfort - Sayaji Rao III) 1943 (1887) from Princely state of Baroda is that it features a unique blend of Indian and Western design elements. The coin's obverse features a portrait of Sayaji Rao III, the ruler of Baroda, in a traditional Indian style, while the reverse features a depiction of a lion and a palm tree, which is a common motif in Western heraldry. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between India and Europe during the colonial period.
