Interesting fact
The 1 Kasu coin from the Kingdom of Mysore is interesting because it was used as a medium of exchange during a time when the kingdom was known for its strong economy and trade networks. The coin's design features the image of Chikka Devaraja, a prominent ruler of the kingdom, and its copper composition was a common material used for coinage during that era. Despite its small weight of 3.13 grams, the coin played a significant role in facilitating transactions and commerce within the kingdom and beyond.
