Interesting fact
The 1 Rupee coin from the Princely state of Bikanir, issued during the reign of Sardar Singh (in the name of Alamgir II) from 1854-1857, features a unique blend of Indian and Islamic architectural styles on its reverse side. The coin's design includes a depiction of a mosque with a central dome and minarets, surrounded by intricate floral patterns and Arabic script. This fusion of architectural styles reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the Indian princely states during that time period.
