Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Kasu ND (1450-1512) from Kongu Chera dynasty (Indian Hindu Dynasties) made of Copper weighing 1.2 g is that it features a unique blend of Hindu and Islamic influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears a depiction of Lord Shiva, a prominent Hindu deity, while the reverse side features an inscription in the Tamil language, which was widely used in the region during that time period. This blending of religious and cultural influences reflects the diverse and syncretic nature of the Kongu Chera dynasty, which ruled over a region that was home to both Hindu and Muslim communities.
