Mitchiner: The coinage and history of Southtern India, -part II- Tamilnadu - Kerala #828Interesting fact
The 1 Kasu coin from the Kingdom of Madurai (Indian Hindu Dynasties) made of Copper weighing 2.52 g is interesting because it was used as a medium of exchange in the 18th century, and it's still a valuable collector's item today, with some mint conditions selling for thousands of dollars.
