Description
The southern Indian city of Vijayanagar was the capital of an extensive empire that encompassed much of Southern India. It was the last great Hindu kingdom in India, acting as a bulwark against the expanding tide of Islamic and late Mughal power in the north. Noted for its opulent temples, its coinage reflected its great wealth. The bele is notable for being worlds the smallest gold coin denomination.
