Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Mohur ND (1819) coin from Madras Presidency (British India) is that it features a unique blend of Indian and British design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of a lion, which is a common motif in British heraldry, while the reverse side features a depiction of a Hindu deity, likely Lord Vishnu, seated on a lotus flower. This blending of cultural symbols reflects the complex history of British colonialism in India and the influence of Indian culture on British coinage during that time.
