The Indian currency is called the Indian Rupee, and the coins are called the paise
One Indian Rupee is made up of 100 paise.
India was one of the first issuers of coins (circa: 6th Century BC), and as a result it has seen a wide range of monetary units throughout its history.
These coins are called 'punch-marked' coins because of their manufacturing technique.
This was heavily influenced by the Afghan Sher Shah Suri (1540 to 1545) who introduced the silver Rupayya or Rupee coin.
