Comment
Coins of this type were copied by Nayakas of Chitradurga and are known as "Durgi Pagodas"Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Pagoda coin from the Empire of Vijayanagara is that it features an image of Lord Krishna, which signifies the importance of Hinduism during the reign of Krishnadeva Raya.
