Interesting fact

The 1 Fanon coin from Mahé (French India) made of Silver is interesting because it was used as a form of currency in the French colonies in India during the 18th century, specifically from 1731-1737. It's a rare and valuable coin among collectors today, with some mint conditions selling for thousands of dollars.
