See Zeno#179106: Uncertain feudatory issue of late Vijayanagar period, from central KarnatakaInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was used as a form of currency during the Vijayanagara Empire, which was a powerful and influential empire in southern India that lasted from the 14th to the 17th century. The coin features an image of a Hindu deity, which reflects the strong religious and cultural influences of the empire. Additionally, the use of copper as the material for the coin suggests that it was a widely available and accessible form of currency for the people of the empire.
