Comment
Known as "Ankushi Rupee"Interesting fact
The 1 Rupee (Poona) ND (1759-1806) coin from the Maratha Empire (Indian states) made of Silver weighing 11.18g is interesting because it was used during a time of great cultural and economic exchange between India and Europe. The coin features a unique blend of Indian and European design elements, showcasing the cultural exchange that occurred during this period. Additionally, the use of silver in the coin's minting process was a significant departure from the copper coins that were previously used, highlighting the Empire's growing wealth and influence.
