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 a depiction of the Hindu goddess Lakshmi, while the reverse side features a Islamic inscription in the Persian language. This blending of religious motifs reflects the diverse cultural influences that characterized the Vijayanagara Empire, which was known for its religious tolerance and syncretism.
