Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Takka coin from the Princely state of Bundi is that it features a unique blend of traditional Indian and Western design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of Queen Victoria, while the reverse side features a depiction of the Bundi state's symbol, a stylized elephant with a raised trunk, surrounded by intricate floral patterns. This fusion of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influences that existed between India and Europe during the colonial era.
