One interesting fact about the Nazarana Kori - Bahadur Khan (Junagarh) 1249 (1834) coin is that it was issued during a time of great turmoil in the Princely state of Junagadh. The coin was minted in 1834, just a few years after the state had been ravaged by a devastating famine, and the ruling king, Bahadur Khan, was facing significant challenges in maintaining the state's economy and stability. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a testament to the rich cultural and economic heritage of the Princely state of Junagadh during that time.
