Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Anna 1834 coin from Bombay Presidency (British India) is that it was part of a series of coins issued during the reign of King William IV, who ruled the British Empire from 1830 to 1837. This coin was minted during a time when the British East India Company was still active in India and was used as a means of currency for everyday transactions. Despite being made of copper, which was a relatively inexpensive material at the time, the coin was still carefully crafted with detailed engravings and designs, showcasing the skilled craftsmanship of the mint's artisans. Today, this coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, offering a glimpse into the rich history of India's monetary system during the British colonial era.
