Akki Alur is a small village which became popular for a unique reason. Some years ago, a farmer found a pot of gold coins while ploughing the field. Interestingly, these were not Indian coins but belonged to the Roman Empire (Byzantine Empire). These mints were recovered and a research revealed that the coins were made in Constantinople (modern day Istanbul). Though not much information is available about the history behind these coins, it became the one of the only places in India where Byzantine coins are found. Akki Alur is a serene village in Hangal Taluk.
