Interesting fact

The Paisa - Madho Rao ND (1886) coin from the Princely state of Gwalior is interesting because it was one of the first coins to feature the image of a Native Indian king, Madho Rao Scindia, instead of the British monarch, which was a common practice in the Indian princely states during that time.
