| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse displays a geometric grid or lattice design composed of intersecting lines forming a square or rectangular framework within the coin's field, a design element characteristic of Mysore kasu coinage of this era. Within the divided compartments, a circular motif resembling a stylized sun or floral rosette is visible on the left side, while a smaller symbolic device appears in the right compartment. The overall layout is highly schematic and abstract, consistent with the degenerate temple-token iconography common to South Indian copper coinage of the 18th century. A beaded border encircles the design. The strike is irregular, as expected of hammered copper issues of this type. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Krishna Raja Wodeyar II ruled Mysore for three decades but held little real power — by the 1750s the kingdom was effectively controlled by Hyder Ali, the military commander who would eventually depose the Wodeyar dynasty entirely in 1761. Coins struck under Krishna Raja's name during this period reflect a court that was nominally sovereign but practically subordinate.
KM#157 is among the smaller copper kasu types of the Mysore series, struck at a time when the kingdom's mints were producing multiple denominations to service a rapidly militarizing economy under Hyder Ali's direction.
