Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Daulat Rao Sindhia, who was a powerful leader of the Maratha Confederacy in the early 19th century. He played a significant role in the Anglo-Maratha Wars and was known for his military prowess and administrative skills. The coin's design and minting process were likely overseen by him or his officials, making it a unique piece of history from that time period.
