Interesting fact
The 1 Pagoda coin from Dutch India, made of gold and weighing 3.42g, 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 17th and 18th centuries. It was a widely accepted medium of exchange and was used for transactions between the Dutch and local merchants, as well as for trade with other countries in the region. Despite its small size, it was a valuable coin due to its gold content and played an important role in the economy of the time.
