Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Nazarana Mohur - Jitendra Narayan 1914 coin from the Kingdom of Cooch-Behar is that it features a unique blend of Indian and Western design elements. The coin's obverse side features a portrait of King Jitendra Narayan, while the reverse side depicts a scene of Lord Vishnu, a Hindu deity, seated on a lotus flower. This fusion of Indian cultural symbols with Western-style portraiture reflects the rich cultural heritage of the Indian North-Eastern dynasties and adds to the coin's historical significance.
