Interesting fact

The 1 Puttun coin from Dutch India, made of silver and weighing 0.37g, is interesting because it was used as a form of currency during the Dutch colonial period in India, specifically in the 17th and 18th centuries. It was a small denomination coin that was widely used for everyday transactions, and its design featured the Dutch East India Company's logo on one side and a depiction of a lion on the other. Despite its small size, the coin played a significant role in facilitating trade and commerce during the colonial era.
