Interesting fact

The 10 Cash-Krishna Raja Wodeyar coin from the Princely state of Mysore (Indian princely states) made of Copper weighing 4.5 g is an interesting piece of history, as it was issued during a time when the Mysore kingdom was under the rule of the British East India Company. The coin features an image of Krishna Raja Wodeyar, the king of Mysore from 1833-1834, and has a unique blend of Indian and British influences in its design. This coin is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the region and serves as a reminder of the complex history of India during the colonial era.
