Interesting fact

The 1 Kasu coin from the Kingdom of Mysore, issued during the reign of Krishnaraja Wodeyar II in 1750, features an interesting fact. Despite being made of copper and weighing only 3.09 grams, it was still used as a standard circulation coin, indicating the kingdom's economy's reliance on copper coins during that time.
