1 Cash (kasu) coins of Travancore, minted from 1885-95 during the reign of Moolam Thirunal Rama Varma II. The obverse features an image of Lord Krishna, holding a ball of butter in both his hands, while the reverse has a hexagonal star, possibly the Sudarshan Chakra. The Kasu was 1/448 part of the rupee, and the smallest denomination of coinage used in Travancore/surrounding regions. These coins were later replaced by machined coinages, with a conch replacing Krishna's figure. Second image shows the coins with a rupee coin for size comparison.
