One interesting fact about the 1 Doudou (Karikal) ND (1740) coin from Karaikal (French India) is that it features a unique blend of French and Indian design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of a French fleur-de-lis, while the reverse side features a traditional Indian lotus flower. This fusion of design styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred during the French colonial period in India.
