Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of traditional Indian and Islamic influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of Krishna Raja Wodeyar III, the ruler of the Princely state of Mysore, while the reverse side features a stylized representation of the Islamic crescent moon and star, which was a common motif in the coinage of the Mysore kingdom during that period. This blending of cultural elements reflects the diverse and syncretic nature of the Indian princely states during the 19th century.
