Comment
Previous C#133a. Size varies.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Fanon coin from Puducherry (French India) is that it was minted during the French colonial period in India, specifically between 1720 and 1837. The coin was made of silver and weighed 3 grams, which was a significant weight for a coin of its denomination at that time. The coin's design likely featured the French colonial emblem and other symbols of French rule in India, making it a unique and interesting piece of numismatic history.
