Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Fanon coin from Puducherry (French India) is that it was minted during the reign of King Louis XV of France, who ruled from 1715 to 1774. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign, which were used to facilitate trade and commerce in the French colonies. The coin's design features the king's effigy on one side and the coat of arms of Puducherry on the other, symbolizing the French colonial presence in India.
