Interesting fact

The 1 Trambiyo coin from the Princely state of Porbandar was minted during a time when the region was under the rule of the British East India Company. Despite being a small princely state, Porbandar was able to issue its own currency, which was used locally for transactions. The coin's design features a unique blend of Indian and European elements, reflecting the cultural exchange that took place during the colonial era.
