Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Biche (Mahe) coin from Mahé (French India) is that it was used as a form of currency in the French colonies in India during the 18th century. Despite being made of bronze, the coin was valued at a relatively high amount, reflecting the economic importance of the French colonies in India during that time.
