Comment
Pridmore# 211Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1830-1831 Bombay Presidency 1 Pie coin is that it features a unique design element - a small elephant motif on the reverse side, which was a symbol of the presidency. This coin was also one of the smallest coins issued by the British East India Company, with a diameter of only 13mm.
