Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Fanam coin from the Mughal Empire is that it was made of gold and weighed only 0.38 grams, making it a very small and lightweight coin. Despite its small size, it was still a widely used denomination during its time and holds significant historical value for collectors and numismatists today.
