Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Pagoda ND (1808-1812) coin from Madras Presidency (British India) is that it was designed with a unique blend of Indian and British influences. The coin features an image of a pagoda, which is a traditional Indian building, but it also includes the British royal crest and the name of the British king, George III, in English. This blending of cultural elements reflects the complex history of British colonialism in India and the ways in which different cultures interacted and influenced each other during this time.
