One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Hindu architectural styles on its reverse side. The coin's design showcases the Jama Masjid mosque, which was built during the reign of Sikandar Begam, alongside a Hindu temple, highlighting the cultural and religious diversity of the Princely state of Bhopal during that time.
