Comment
The Nawabs of Arcot ruled a region called Carnatic under the rule of the Monghols emperor Aurangzeb until 1765, after which the region became independent, but the territory shrank further and further in favor of the British India Company, which finally took over the entire territory in 1855.

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Cash ND (1690-1801) from Nawabdom of the Carnatic (Indian Hindu Dynasties) made of Copper weighing 2 g is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Hindu architectural styles on its design. The coin's obverse side features a depiction of a mosque, while the reverse side features a depiction of a Hindu temple, highlighting the cultural and religious diversity of the region during that time period.
