Interesting fact

The 1 Kasu coin from the Kingdom of Madurai (Indian Hindu Dynasties) made of Copper weighing 2g has an interesting fact that it was used as a currency during the reign of King Thirumalai Nayak (1690-1731) and it was also used as a token of appreciation for the artists, poets, and scholars who were supported by the king.
