Interesting fact
The ½ Pice coin from Bombay Presidency (British India) made of Copper weighing 5.1 g has an interesting fact that it was used as a currency in India during the British colonial era, and it was equivalent to half of a pice, which was the smallest denomination coin in India at that time.
