Comment
A. M. Shashtri ND 14Interesting fact
The 1 Kasu coin from the Yadava Dynasty is interesting because it features an image of Lord Krishna, which was a departure from the usual depiction of the king or emperor on coins of that time. This suggests that the Yadava rulers were promoting a cultural and religious shift towards Vaishnavism, which was a significant departure from the prevailing Shaivite tradition in South India.
