This exceptional Copper Kasu from Mysore (17th-18th Century AD) represents a fascinating piece of South Indian numismatic history. The coin features an elegant elephant walking rightward on the obverse—a symbol deeply rooted in Indian royal tradition and regional pride—while the reverse displays characteristic cross lines, following the KM # 149.1 catalog designation. Struck during the Mughal-era transition period in the Deccan, this anonymous issue copper denomination served as everyday currency in the prosperous Mysore region. The Very Fine condition exemplifies excellent preservation, with clear details and minimal wear that allow collectors to appreciate the artisan's craftsmanship from centuries past. What makes this kasu particularly desirable is its scarcity in the market. Copper coins from this era often faced heavy circulation wear or melting, making well-preserved examples increasingly difficult to obtain. For numismatic collectors and Indian history enthusiasts, this piece offers authentic insight into regional coinage practices, trade systems, and the cultural significance of elephant symbolism in South Indian kingdoms. This collectible serves as both an educational artifact and a tangible investment, connecting you directly to Mysore's glorious past. #
