Interesting fact

The 2 Pice coin from Bombay Presidency (British India) made of Copper weighing 12.95g has an interesting fact that it was one of the first coins to feature the portrait of King George III, who was the King of Great Britain and Ireland from 1760 to 1820. This coin was minted during his reign and bears his image on one side, signifying the British colonial influence in India during that time.
