Comment
Ruler: Jankoji RaoInteresting fact
The 1 Rupee coin of Muhammad Akbar II [Jankoji Rao] (Basoda) 1252-1254 (1837-1838) from the Princely state of Gwalior is notable for its unique design. The coin features a portrait of the ruler, Muhammad Akbar II, on one side, and a depiction of the Hindu goddess Lakshmi on the other. This blending of Islamic and Hindu motifs is a reflection of the cultural syncretism that was prevalent in the Indian princely states during that time period.
