Interesting fact
The 1 Bazaruk coin from Dutch India, made of Tin, is interesting because it was used as a form of currency in the Dutch East India Company's trading posts in India during the 17th and 18th centuries. It was a widely used denomination and was valued at 1/8 of a rupee. Despite being made of a relatively low-value material like tin, the coin was an important part of the local economy and played a significant role in facilitating trade between the Dutch and the local population.
