Interesting fact
The Kasu ND coin from the Chola dynasty is interesting because it was used as a form of currency during a time when the Chola Empire was at the height of its power and influence. The coin features an image of a Hindu deity, likely Shiva or Vishnu, and its design reflects the cultural and religious values of the time. Additionally, the fact that it was made of copper, a durable and widely available metal, suggests that it was a practical and accessible form of currency for everyday transactions.
