Interesting fact
The 1 Paisa coin from Arcot (French India) featuring Ahmad Shah Bahadur is a rare and valuable coin among collectors due to its historical significance and limited mintage. It was issued during the brief period of French rule in India, specifically in the region of Arcot, which was a French colony from 1750 to 1857. The coin's design features the portrait of Ahmad Shah Bahadur, the last Mughal Emperor, who was deposed by the British and later exiled to Arcot, where he died in 1784. The coin's rarity and historical significance make it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists and history enthusiasts.
