Interesting fact

The 1 Kakini coin from the Naga dynasty of Narwar (Malwa Plateau) made of Copper weighing 3g has an interesting fact that it was used as a currency during the rule of the Naga dynasty in the 4th century CE. It was a widely used coin in the region and has been found in abundance in archaeological excavations. The coin features an image of a serpent on one side and a legend in Brahmi script on the other, which reads "Naga-sahasra" or "thousand Naga". This coin is a significant artifact in understanding the economic and cultural history of the region during that time period.
