Baroda coins catalog

Principality of Baroda

The state of Baroda was founded in 1721 when the Marathas reclaimed this territory from the Mughals. Baroda became a kingdom within the Maratha Confederation with Vadodara as its capital. In fact, the state was also called Vadodara, and Baroda was its distorted name used by British travelers. The territory of the kingdom was scattered areas in the modern state of Gujarat.

The Second Anglo-Maratha War of 1803-1805 brought most of Gujarat under the British East India Company. But the Baroda rulers entered into a "subsidiary alliance" with the Anglicans, recognizing British suzerainty but preserving the kingdom's internal autonomy.

In 1857, after the liquidation of the East India Company, Baroda came under the direct rule of the British crown.

From 1947 as part of the Union of India and from 1949, from 1950 as part of the Republic of India.
