Interesting fact
The Muhammad Shah [Shambhuji II] Rupee coin from the Princely state of Kolhapur is notable for its unique design, which features a stylized image of a horse on the obverse (front side) and a Nagari inscription on the reverse (back side). The use of a horse as a symbol on the coin was a departure from the traditional Islamic motifs commonly found on coins of the time, and it reflects the influence of the Maratha culture on the Princely state of Kolhapur.
