Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Rupee coin from the Princely state of Baroda is that it features a unique blend of traditional Indian and Western design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of Malhar Rao, the ruler of Baroda, in a traditional Indian style, while the reverse side features a Western-style wreath surrounding the coin's denomination. This blend of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between India and Europe during the 19th century.
