Comment
- The "PIE" in KM262 (0.8mm) is smaller than the "PIE" in KM262 (1.2mm), there is a wider gap between design and rim (see lower image)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1833 Bombay Presidency 1 Pie coin is that it features a unique blend of Eastern and Western design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears a depiction of the British royal crown, while the reverse side features a stylized representation of a lotus flower, which is a symbol of spiritual growth and enlightenment in Hinduism and Buddhism. This blending of cultural motifs reflects the diverse cultural influences that shaped the history of the Bombay Presidency during the British colonial era.
