Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Paisa coin from the Princely state of Rewa is that it features a unique blend of traditional Indian and European design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of Jai Singh Deo, the ruler of Rewa, in a traditional Indian royal dress, while the reverse side features a European-style wreath surrounding the coin's denomination. This blend of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between India and Europe during the 19th century.
