Interesting fact
The 1 Pagoda coin from Dutch India, made of gold, is a rare and valuable coin among collectors. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was used as a form of currency in the Dutch East India Company's trading posts in India and other parts of Asia during the 18th century. Despite its rarity, some of these coins have been found in shipwrecks, making them a fascinating piece of history for collectors and numismatists.
