Comment
Lakkana Dandanayaka, the governor of Tekkali Rajya under king Devaraya II, minted his own coins with the sanction from the king.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Jital coin from the Empire of Vijayanagara is that it features a unique blend of Hindu and Islamic influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features a depiction of the Hindu goddess Lakshmi, while the reverse side features a Islamic-style inscription in the Vijayanagara style. This blending of cultural influences reflects the diverse religious and cultural landscape of the Vijayanagara Empire, which was known for its religious tolerance and syncretism.
