Interesting fact

The 1 Rupee coin of Muhammad Akbar II from the Princely state of Baroda is notable for its unique design, which features a blend of Islamic and European influences. The coin's obverse side bears the inscription "Al-Sultan al-Azam Muhammad Akbar II" in Arabic, while the reverse side features a depiction of a lion and the date in the Islamic calendar. This fusion of styles reflects the cultural exchange and syncretism that occurred during the period of colonialism in India.
