Interesting fact
The 1 Cash 1743 coin from Dutch India made of Copper is interesting because it was used as a form of currency during the Dutch colonial period in India, specifically in the Dutch East India Company's territories. It was minted in the city of Batavia (now Jakarta) and features an image of a lion on one side and the Dutch East India Company's monogram on the other. The use of copper as the material for the coin was a common practice during that time period, as it was a readily available and affordable metal. Today, this coin is considered a rare and valuable collector's item, providing a glimpse into the history of currency and trade in the region.
