Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during a time of great turmoil in the Maratha Empire, which was facing challenges from the British East India Company and other neighboring kingdoms. Despite these challenges, the coin still features the traditional design elements of the Maratha Empire, including the image of the ruler, Madhavrao II, and the Maratha emblem on the reverse side. This coin is a testament to the resilience and cultural heritage of the Maratha people during a time of significant political and economic change.
