Interesting fact
The ½ Kasu coin from the Kingdom of Mysore (Indian states) made of Copper weighing 1.48 g is interesting because it was used as a mode of exchange during a time when India was still under colonial rule, and the coinage system was influenced by the British Empire. This coin, in particular, was minted during the reign of Krishnaraja Wodeyar III, who ruled Mysore from 1799 to 1868. It's fascinating to think that this coin was used in everyday transactions during that time period and has a rich history behind it.
