Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Fanam (Cochin) ND (1663-1724) coin from Dutch India is that it was minted during the Dutch East India Company's rule over the Malabar Coast, specifically in the city of Cochin. The coin features an image of a lion on one side and the Dutch East India Company's monogram on the other, symbolizing the colonial power's influence over the region. Despite its small weight of 0.32 grams, the coin played an important role in the local economy during its time.
