Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Falus coin from the Sultanate of Malwa 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 a mosque with a dome and minarets, surrounded by a decorative border that showcases the influence of Hindu temple architecture. This fusion of styles reflects the cultural diversity and religious syncretism that characterized the Indian Sultanates during the 16th century.
