Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thira Kasu coin from the Kingdom of Travancore is that it features a unique blend of Hindu and European influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of a Hindu deity, while the reverse side features a European-style crown and the name of the king, Raja Kesava Das, in Malayalam script. This fusion of cultural influences reflects the rich history and cultural exchange that occurred during the time period in which the coin was minted.
