Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was used as a form of currency in the Kingdom of Hamsavati, which was a powerful and influential empire in Southeast Asia during the 14th to 16th centuries. The coin's design and materials, such as the use of silver and the weight of 0.05 grams, reflect the kingdom's strong economic and cultural ties with other regions in Asia, particularly China and India.
