Interesting fact

The 1 Kasu coin from the Kingdom of Mysore (Indian states) made of Copper weighing 2.51 g is interesting because it was used as a medium of exchange during a time when the kingdom was known for its strong economy and trade networks. The coin's design, which features a stylized image of a lion, also reflects the region's cultural and artistic heritage.
