Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Mughal Empire's ½ Dam coin (1700-1850) made of copper is that it was used as a medium of exchange for everyday transactions, and its value was equivalent to half of a dam, which was the standard unit of currency during that time. Despite being made of copper, the coin was still considered valuable and widely used throughout the empire.
