Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of traditional Indian and Western design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of Krishnaraja Wadiyar III, the ruler of Mysore, in a traditional Indian style, while the reverse side features a Western-style wreath surrounding the coin's denomination. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influences that were present during the time period in which the coin was minted.
