Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Takka coin from the Princely state of Bharatpur is that it features a unique blend of traditional Indian and European design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of Maharaja Jashwant Singh, while the reverse side features a depiction of a bird, which is a common motif in Indian art and symbolism. However, the bird is depicted in a highly stylized manner, with elongated feathers and a distinctly European-style crown on its head. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history and cultural exchange that occurred during the time of the Indian princely states.
