Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Annas coin from the Princely state of Baroda is that it features a unique blend of traditional Indian and European design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of Sayaji Rao II, also known as Akbar II, in a crown and turban, while the reverse side features a stylized depiction of a lion and a palm tree, which were symbols of the Princely state of Baroda. This fusion of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influences that were prevalent during the 19th century in India.
