Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Annas coin from India, minted during the reign of Edward VII (1903-1910), is that it was part of a series of coins that were introduced to replace the previous currency system in India, which was based on the Rupee and its fractions. The 2 Annas coin was equivalent to 1/4 of a Rupee and was widely used in everyday transactions.
