Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Mohur coin from Java (British East Indies) is that it was minted during a brief period of British rule in the region, specifically between 1815 and 1816. This coin is a rare example of a British colonial issue that was produced in a Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia) mint, making it a unique piece of numismatic history.
