Interesting fact
The 2 Paisa coin from the Princely state of Baroda, issued in 1949 and featuring Sayaji Rao III, is notable for its unique design. The coin's reverse side features a depiction of the famous 'Baroda Gir' (a breed of Zebu cattle) and the 'Kamatibaug' (a garden in Baroda) which was a symbol of the state's rich agricultural heritage. This design was only used on the 2 Paisa coin and not on any other denominations.
