Comment
Reference: K. Ganesh # 11.8Interesting 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 architectural styles on its reverse side. The coin's design includes a depiction of a mosque, which reflects the influence of Islamic architecture in the region during that time period, while also incorporating traditional Hindu temple architecture elements. This blending of styles is a testament to the cultural diversity and religious tolerance of the Vijayanagara Empire.
