Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Kasu - Shahuji I ND (1701) coin from the Kingdom of Thanjavur-Maratha is that it features a unique blend of Indian and Islamic influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features a depiction of the Maratha king Shahuji, while the reverse side bears a Islamic inscription in Nagari script, indicating the coin's denomination and mintage. This fusion of cultural elements reflects the rich cultural heritage of the Indian subcontinent during the Maratha era.
