The interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Tukoji Rao III, who was a minor at the time, and therefore, his name appears on the coin along with the regnal year 1295-1297 (1878-1880). This coin is a rare example of a coin minted during a minor's reign, and it highlights the unique historical context in which it was produced.
