Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Kasu 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 bears the image of a Hindu deity, while the reverse side features Islamic calligraphy and motifs, reflecting the cultural exchange and syncretism that characterized the Vijayanagara Empire.
