Comment
Trunk of the elephant downwards in stead of upwardsInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 5 Cash - Krishnaraja Wodeyar III ND (1811-1813) from Princely state of Mysore (Indian princely states) made of Copper weighing 2.15 g is that it features a unique blend of Indian and Islamic influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features a depiction of Krishnaraja Wodeyar III, the ruler of Mysore at the time, in a traditional Indian style, while the reverse side features a stylized Islamic inscription in Urdu, which was the official language of the Princely state of Mysore. This blend of styles reflects the diverse cultural influences that shaped the Princely state of Mysore during its history.
