Interesting fact

The ½ Anna coin from Bombay Presidency (British India) made of Copper weighing 12.95g has an interesting fact that it was one of the first coins to feature the portrait of Queen Victoria, who was just 15 years old when she ascended to the throne. This coin was minted during her early years as the Queen of the United Kingdom, and it is a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
