Interesting fact
The 1 Kasu coin from the Kingdom of Mysore is interesting because it was one of the first coins to feature a depiction of a deity, in this case, the Hindu goddess Lakshmi, on one of its sides. This was a significant departure from the traditional Islamic coinage that had been used in the region before, and it reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the Kingdom of Mysore during that time.
