Interesting fact

The interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Anand Rao, who was a minor ruler of the Princely state of Baroda in India. Despite being a minor ruler, Anand Rao's coinage was known for its high quality and unique designs, which made it stand out from other coins of the time. The 2 Annas coin, in particular, features a beautiful depiction of a horse on one side and an intricate floral pattern on the other, showcasing the skill of the mint masters of Baroda.
