Interesting fact

The 1 Fanon coin from Puducherry (French India) is interesting because it was minted during the French colonial period in India and features a unique blend of French and Indian design elements. The coin's obverse side bears the image of a French fleur-de-lis, while the reverse side features a depiction of a Hindu deity, highlighting the cultural fusion that occurred during the colonial period. Additionally, the coin's silver content and relatively low weight make it a valuable and collectible item among numismatists.
