Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 4 Annas - Sayaji Rao III 1292-1299 (1875-1882) from Princely state of Baroda (Indian princely states) made of Silver weighing 2.8 g is that it features a unique blend of traditional Indian and European design elements. The coin's obverse side features a portrait of Sayaji Rao III, the ruler of Baroda, in a traditional Indian style, while the reverse side features a depiction of a crowned lion, a common motif in European heraldry, surrounded by a wreath. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between India and Europe during the colonial era.
