Interesting fact
The 1/15 Mohur coin from Bombay Presidency (British India) made of Gold is interesting because it was minted during a time when the British East India Company was transitioning from a trading company to a ruling power in India. This coin, minted in 1802, bears the inscription "Bombay Presidency" and features a unique blend of Indian and British design elements, reflecting the cultural fusion that occurred during this period of colonial rule.
