Interesting fact
The 1 Rupee coin from the Princely state of Baroda, issued during the reign of Malhar Rao in 1870, features a unique design element - a small elephant motif at the bottom of the coin's reverse side. This elephant symbolizes good luck and prosperity, which was a common belief in Indian culture.
