Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ½ Trambiyo coin from the Princely state of Porbandar is that it was made of copper, which was a common material used for coinage in India during that time period. Copper was chosen for its durability and resistance to corrosion, making it an ideal material for coins that were meant to be used extensively in daily transactions. Despite being made of a relatively inexpensive material, the ½ Trambiyo coin still holds significant historical and cultural value, providing a glimpse into the economic and monetary systems of the Princely state of Porbandar during the 16th to 19th centuries.
