Reference - K. Ganesh 9.96Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pagoda coin from the Empire of Vijayanagara is that it features an image of Lord Shiva, who was considered the supreme deity of the empire, on one side, and an inscription in the Vijayanagara style of writing on the other. This coin was used as a medium of exchange and was also considered a symbol of wealth and power during the reign of King Achyutaraya.
