<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ian, post: 202521, member: 283&quot;]Here&#039;s a few examples of coinage from French India. These ones were all minted at Pondicherry.</p><p><br /></p><p>The first is a 1/5th Rupee issued for Mahe in 1750 (KM67). The very prominent `P&#039; designates it as being from Pondicherry mint</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.omnicoin.com/coins/921319.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The second is an example of a KM57 copper `doudou&#039; from 1837</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.omnicoin.com/coins/921318.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The third is an example of a KM35 copper `doudou&#039;. This very successful type coinage was issued between 1720 and 1835 which is quite a long period for a coin type to remain in circulation. Not exactly a brilliant uncirculated example, but it&#039;s the only one i&#039;ve got... so there! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.omnicoin.com/coins/921317.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The fourth is a `half doudou&#039; (KM34). Same circulation period as the `doudou&#039; above.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.omnicoin.com/coins/921316.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
