Interesting fact
The 1 Fanon coin from Puducherry (French India) made of Silver is interesting because it was minted during the French colonial period in India and features the effigy of King Louis-Philippe on one side and the French national motto "Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité" on the other. This coin was used as a medium of exchange in the French colonies in India and is now a rare collector's item.
