Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Muhammad Akbar II, who was the ruler of the Princely state of Baroda in India during the 19th century. The coin features an image of the ruler on one side and an inscription in Urdu on the other side, which translates to "Muhammad Akbar, King of Baroda, 1264-1272 AH" (1848-1856 AD).
