Comment
- MULE coin with 1833 AD on Obverse (KM262), But AH 1246 on Reverse (KM230).Interesting fact
The 1833 Bombay Presidency 1 Pie (Mule) coin is interesting because it features a unique combination of designs from two different coinage systems. The obverse (front) side of the coin bears the image of a British monarch, King William IV, while the reverse (back) side features the iconic 'Mule' design, which was used on coins issued by the East India Company in India. This blend of designs was only used for a brief period, making the coin a rare and valuable collector's item.
