Interesting fact
The 1 Pice coin from Bombay Presidency (British India) made of Copper weighing 6.47 g has an interesting fact that it was one of the first coins to feature a portrait of a British monarch, King George III, on the obverse side, which was a departure from the traditional Islamic-style coins that were previously used in the region. This change in design was a result of the British East India Company's influence on the local currency and marked the beginning of a new era in Indian numismatics.
