Fateh Singh Rao Gaekwad was the Regent Maharaja of Baroda from 1778 to 1789 . He was the third son of Damaji Rao Gaekwad.Interesting fact
The 1 Rupee coin from the Princely state of Baroda, issued during the reign of Fateh Singh Rao Gaekwad in 1778, features a unique design element - a small elephant motif at the bottom of the coin's reverse side. This elephant symbolizes strength, prosperity, and good luck, which were all highly valued virtues in Indian culture. The inclusion of this motif on the coin reflects the cultural significance of elephants in Indian society and adds to the coin's historical and numismatic value.
