Gold pagoda, Pondichery, south India, 1705-80. D: 1.2cm, W: 3.38g.  Marsden Collection.   - From about 1705 the French began minting their own version of the local gold coinage, the pagoda. This imitated the local tradition of depicting the schematized image of an Indian goddess standing between two flowers on the reverse. The coins carry no legend or date, but are identifiable as French by the obverse design of a small crescent and dot monogram encircled by a grained field.
