One interesting fact about the ½ Fanam coin from the Mughal Empire is that it was made of gold, which was a rare and valuable material at the time. The use of gold in coinage was a symbol of the wealth and power of the Mughal Empire, and it reflects the importance of trade and commerce in the region during that period.
