Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Takka coin from the Princely state of Jodhpur is that it features a unique blend of traditional Indian and British design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of George V, the British monarch at the time, while the reverse side features a depiction of the Hindu deity Lord Ganesha, reflecting the cultural influences of the region. This blending of styles is a notable feature of many coins from the Princely states of India, and adds to their historical and cultural significance.
