Interesting fact
The 1 Jital coin from the Empire of Vijayanagara, which was issued during the reign of Krishna Devaraya (1509-1529), features an unusual design element - a stylized depiction of the Hindu goddess Lakshmi on the obverse (front side), while the reverse (back side) bears the image of a stylized lion. This combination of a Hindu deity and a mythical creature was a common motif in Vijayanagara coinage, reflecting the cultural and religious influences of the time.
