Tamil Banknotes of French India
French India is a general name for the former French possessions in India. These included Pudhucherry, Karikal and Yanam on the Coromandel Coast, Mahé on the Malabar Coast, and Chandannagar in Bengal. Since areas such as Pudhucherry, Karikal and Yanam were Tamil areas that Tamil language appeared on French Indian banknotes.
The roupie or rupee was the currency of French India. It was equal to the Indian rupee issued by the British and then Indian governments. Until 1871 it was issued as coins with the roupie divided into 8 fanons, each of 3 doudous or 20 cash. From 1871, banknotes were issued by France's Banque de l'Indochine which circulated alongside coins issued by British India.
