Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Rupee coin from the Princely State of Jammu and Kashmir is that it features a unique blend of traditional Indian and Islamic design elements. The obverse side of the coin depicts a portrait of Maharaja Ranbir Singh, while the reverse side features a stylized representation of the state's crest, which includes a shield with the word "Kashmir" written in Urdu, surrounded by two lions and a crown. This blend of Hindu and Islamic motifs reflects the diverse cultural heritage of the region and highlights the syncretic nature of Indian art and architecture.
