Interesting fact
The 4 Annas coin from the Princely state of Baroda, issued during the reign of Sayaji Rao II (1822-1827), features a unique blend of traditional Indian and European design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of a stylized lion, symbolizing the princely state's power and strength, while the reverse side features a depiction of the Roman goddess of liberty, Libertas, holding a staff and a shield with the Baroda state's emblem. This fusion of Eastern and Western motifs reflects the cultural exchange and influences that were prevalent during the 19th century in India.
