Comment

From 1784-85, Tuticorin coins were struck at Colombo where they also circulated.

Interesting fact

The 1 Pagoda coin from Dutch India, made of gold and weighing 0.625g, is interesting because it was used as a form of currency in the Dutch East India Company's colonies in the Indian subcontinent during the 18th century. Despite being a small coin, it was valued at a high amount, equivalent to 1/16th of a Dutch guilder, and was used for everyday transactions. Its design featured an image of a pagoda, a traditional Indian building, on one side and the Dutch East India Company's logo on the other. The coin's unique blend of Indian and Dutch influences makes it a fascinating piece of history for collectors and historians alike.
