Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Takka coin featuring Maharao Ram Singh II from the Princely state of Kotah is that it was one of the first coins to feature a portrait of a ruler from the princely states of India. This was a departure from the traditional anonymous coins that had been used in India for centuries, and it signaled a shift towards more personalized and unique coinage. The coin's design was influenced by European styles and was meant to showcase the power and authority of the ruler.
