Issued shortly after the conquest of Malwa in 1560.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Falus - Akbar (Ujjain) 1000 (1592) coin from the Mughal Empire (India) is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Hindu architectural styles on its reverse side. The coin's design includes a depiction of the Taj Mahal, which was built during the reign of Akbar (1556-1605) and is considered one of the greatest examples of Mughal architecture. At the same time, the coin also features an image of a Hindu temple, reflecting the religious diversity of the Mughal Empire. This blend of styles is a testament to the cultural and religious tolerance of the Mughal Empire, which was known for its religious diversity and syncretism.
