Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Raghunatha Nayak, who was a powerful ruler of the Nayaka dynasty that ruled Thanjavur in the 16th and 17th centuries. He was known for his military campaigns and his patronage of the arts, and this coin may have been issued to commemorate one of his military victories or to promote trade and commerce in the region.
