Interesting fact
The 1 Rupee ND (1759-1760) coin from Bengal Presidency (British India) made of Silver weighing 11.30g is interesting because it was issued during a time of great change in India. The coin was minted during the reign of King George II, when the British East India Company was expanding its influence in India and the subcontinent was experiencing significant cultural, economic, and political shifts. The coin's design, featuring a crowned bust of the king on one side and a lion standing on a crown on the other, symbolizes the British colonial power and its influence on Indian currency. This coin is a piece of history that tells a story of a significant period in India's past.
