It was founded in 1336 by two brothers - Harihara and Bukka - with the blessings of their guru Vidyaranya. The capital of the empire was Hampi or Vijayanagar on the banks of the Tungabhadra in Karnataka. Krishnadevaraya was the most famous of the Vijayanagar rulers. The Vijayanagar rulers had a separate department for minting coins. The main mint was in Hampi, and the smaller mints were at Penukonda, Tirupati and many other places. The coins were in gold, silver and copper, and were circular. The most beautiful Vijayanagar coins were those with the images of various gods and goddesses and animals and birds. The earliest coins feature Hanuman and the Garuda (divine eagle), the mount of Lord Vishnu. The Vijayanagar rulers also issued gold coins featuring divine couples. Venkatapatiraya III, one of the last Vijayanagar rulers, minted coins showing Vishnu with Sridevi and Bhudevi. A rare copper coin of the Vijayanagar ruler Sriranga I shows a standing figure of the emperor with a sword in his hand. Another rare copper coin issued by Sadasivaraya shows a fully caparisoned galloping horse. The elephant and the bull too appear on many Vijayanagar coins. The reverse of the coins usually bear the name of the ruler in Kannada, Devanagari or Telugu scripts. Many Hindu families preserve and worship the Vijayanagar coins bearing figures of deities.
