| Additional information |
The Hoysala dynasty ruled much of what is now Karnataka from roughly the 11th century until their kingdom was absorbed by the nascent Vijayanagara Empire in the mid-14th century, and their copper kasu issues are among the least systematically documented coinages of medieval South India. Attribution within the series is complicated by the near-total absence of ruler names on these pieces — hence the "anonymous" designation — making die studies the primary tool for sequencing them within the dynasty's three-and-a-half centuries of production.
