Comment
Sch#1232/1233. This series for circulation in Ceylon.Interesting fact
The 1 Fanam coin from Dutch India, made of silver and weighing 1.01g, is interesting because it was used as a form of currency in the Indian Ocean trade network during the 17th and 18th centuries. It was issued by the Dutch East India Company and was used to facilitate trade between the Dutch colonies in India and other countries in the region, such as the Arabian Peninsula and Southeast Asia. The coin's design features a unique blend of Dutch and Indian elements, reflecting the cultural exchange and influence that occurred during this period of colonialism.
