One interesting fact about the ½ Fanon coin from Puducherry (French India) is that it was minted during the brief period of French rule in the region, which lasted from 1774 to 1855. The coin features the French motto "Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité" on one side and the image of a Hindu deity on the other, reflecting the cultural influences of the region.
