1 Dudu 10 Cash

The "Dudu" denomination was a local South Indian accounting unit used in the Madras Presidency, where the East India Company operated mints at both Madras and Cuddalore. These copper pieces circulated alongside an already chaotic mixture of indigenous coinage, and the Company's decision to issue them reflected a pragmatic accommodation of local monetary custom rather than any attempt at standardization. The fifty-year production window is wide enough that attribution to specific mint years within the series is rarely possible from the coin alone.
