Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Pice coin from Bombay Presidency (British India) made of Copper is that it was used as a form of currency in India during the British colonial era. The coin was first introduced in 1816 and was used until 1826, when it was replaced by a new coinage system. Despite its relatively short lifespan, the ¼ Pice coin remains a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
