Interesting fact
The 2 Annas coin from the Princely state of Jaipur, issued in 1942 during the reign of Man Singh II, features a unique blend of Hindu and Islamic architectural styles on its reverse side. The coin's design showcases a mosque-like structure with a dome and minarets, surrounded by intricate carvings and ornate details that are characteristic of traditional Rajasthani architecture. This blend of styles reflects the cultural diversity and syncretism that was prevalent in the Princely states of India during that time period.
