| Additional information |
Krishna Raja Wodeyar II ruled Mysore in name only for most of his reign — by the 1750s, effective power had passed to Hyder Ali, the military commander who would eventually displace the Wodeyar dynasty entirely. Coinage continued to be issued under the royal name throughout this period, masking a political reality that had fundamentally shifted.
The kasu was the traditional small copper unit of Mysore's monetary system, with roots predating the Wodeyar dynasty itself. KM#152 sees limited documentation in the specialist literature, and attribution of individual pieces to specific years within the 1731–1761 window is not reliably possible by type alone.
