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 cultural influences reflects the diverse religious and cultural landscape of the Vijayanagara Empire, which was known for its religious tolerance and syncretism.
