Interesting fact
The 10 Cash coin from Madras Presidency (British India) made of Copper weighing 6.47 g has an interesting fact that it was one of the first coins to feature a portrait of a British monarch, King George III, on the obverse side, which was a departure from the traditional depiction of Indian deities on coins. This change in design was a result of the British East India Company's influence on the currency of the region.
