Interesting fact
The 1 cash Pulicat ND (1646) coin from Dutch India was made of copper, which was a common material used for coinage during that time period. However, what makes this coin stand out is that it was one of the smallest coins issued by the Dutch East India Company, with a weight of only 1.5 grams. Despite its small size, this coin was still widely used in trade and commerce, highlighting the importance of coins as a medium of exchange in the early modern period.
