The 1836 French India 1 Doudou bronze coin from Pondicherry is a fascinating colonial era piece: modest in size, rich in detail, featuring a rooster and Tamil script. Its value spans significantly—from modest amounts in worn condition to several hundred euros for high-grade survivors—making it both historically intriguing and potentially rewarding for collectors.
