Interesting fact

The 1 Kasu coin from the Kingdom of Mysore (Indian states) made of Copper weighing 3g has an interesting fact that it was used as a currency during the reign of King Chikka Devaraja Wodeyar, who ruled Mysore from 1674 to 1760. During his reign, the kingdom experienced significant economic growth, and the introduction of this coin was a part of his efforts to standardize the currency and promote trade.
