Many examples are found holed (maybe were used as jewellery)

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Ja'u coin from the Princely State of Jammu and Kashmir is that it was used as a form of currency in the region during the 19th century, specifically between 1842 and 1850. It was made of silver and had a standardized design, which was a unique feature for coins from princely states in India during that time period.
