Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Kasu coin from the Princely state of Sivaganga is that it was made of copper, which was a common material used for coinage in India during that time period. Copper was chosen for its durability and affordability, making it an ideal choice for everyday transactions. Additionally, the coin's weight of 2.29 grams was a standard weight for coins of its denomination, indicating that it was carefully crafted to meet the standards of the time.
