Interesting fact
The 1 Rupee coin from Madras Presidency (British India) made of Silver and weighing 11.57g, minted during the reign of Muhammad Shah ND (1723-1730), is an interesting piece of history because it was one of the first coins to feature the image of a British monarch, King George I, on the obverse side, signifying the beginning of British influence in India's monetary system.
