| Additional information |
The Compagnie des Indes Orientales was effectively finished as a commercial enterprise by 1760 — the Seven Years' War had severed its Indian trade routes, and the French Crown would formally dissolve it three years later. This fanon was struck at Pondicherry during the company's death throes, just months before British forces under Coote besieged and captured the city in January 1761, after which the mint ceased operations entirely.
