Zeno#51606Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Kasu coin from the Kingdom of Madurai 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-style inscription in Tamil, indicating the coin's minting during the period of Islamic influence in the region. This blending of cultural and religious motifs reflects the rich cultural heritage and diversity of the Indian subcontinent during that time.
