Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Dokda - Vibhaji 1943 (1886) coin from the Princely state of Nawanagar is that it features a unique blend of Indian and Western design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of a crowned lion, which is a common motif in Western heraldry, while the reverse side features a depiction of a Hindu deity, Lord Vibhaji, seated on a lotus flower. This blending of cultural influences reflects the rich history and diversity of the Indian princely states during the colonial era.
