Interesting fact
The 1 Pie 1833 coin from Bombay Presidency (British India) made of Copper weighing 2.16g is interesting because it was part of the first decimal currency system introduced in India during the British colonial era. The coin was equivalent to 1/16 of a rupee and was widely used in everyday transactions. Its design featured a crowned bust of King William IV on the obverse and a lion standing on a crown on the reverse, symbolizing the British monarchy's authority over India. Despite its small denomination, the coin played a significant role in facilitating trade and commerce in the region during that time.
