Interesting fact
The 2 Annas coin from the Princely state of Baroda, issued during the reign of Ganpat Rao (1847-1856), features a unique blend of Indian and European influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of a crowned lion, a common motif in European heraldry, while the reverse side features a depiction of a seated Ganesh, a revered Hindu deity, surrounded by ornate floral patterns. This fusion of cultural elements reflects the rich cultural diversity of the Indian princely states during the 19th century.
