The "CASH" denomination shown on the coin is representative of the currency units used during British rule in India. While the origin of the word "CASH" has been up to debate, one theory believes it was derived from the Sanskrit word "karsa", equaling a weight of Silver of Gold equal to 1/400 of a "tola".

The Rhino Sutra
The Rhino Sutra, also known as The Rhino Sutra ( Pali : Khaggavisa?a-Sutta, Sanskrit : Kha?gavi?a?a-gatha ; Gandhari : Khargavi?a?a-Sutra or Khargavi?a?a-ga s a) is a very early Buddhist text advocating the merit of solitary asceticism for pursuing enlightenment as opposed to practising as a head of household or in a community of monks. The goal was to become a pratyekabuddha wandering alone through the forest like a rhinoceros.In fact, it is possible that this sutra was identified in the Chinese translation of the Mahasa?ghika vinaya and was therefore also given a Gandhari-name similar to the Pracegabudha sutra.
The Indian rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis), also called the Indian rhinoceros, greater rhinoceros or Indian armoured rhinoceros, is a rhinoceros species native to the Indian subcontinent. It is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List due to fragmented populations restricted to less than 20,000 km 2.In addition, the extent and quality of the rhino's most important habitat, the alluvial Terai-Duar savanna and grassland and riverine forests, is believed to be declining due to human and wildlife encroachment.As of August 2018, the global population was estimated at 3,588, including 2,939 in India and 649 in Nepal. Kaziranga National Park alone was home to an estimated 2,048 rhinos in 2009. The Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary in Assam has the highest density of Indian rhinos in the world, with 84 individuals in an area of 38.80 km 2in 2009.
The Indian rhino was once distributed across the entire stretch of the Indo-Gangetic plains, but excessive hunting and agricultural development drastically reduced its range to 11 sites in northern India and southern Nepal.In the early 1990s, there were an estimated 1,870 to 1,895 rhinos alive.Since then, numbers have increased due to government conservation measures.Poaching, however, remains a constant threat, with more than 150 rhinos killed by poachers in Assam between 2000 and 2006.
