Interesting fact

The 1 Kasu coin from the Kingdom of Mysore is interesting because it was issued during a time of great turmoil in the region. The coin was minted during the anonymous issue period, which means that the name of the ruler or king was not included on the coin, indicating a period of political instability. Despite this, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and design, showcasing the skill of the mint workers and the value placed on currency during this time.
