Interesting fact
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 includes a depiction of a mosque with a mihrab (a niche in the wall indicating the direction of Mecca) and a minaret, alongside a Hindu temple with a shikhara (a tower-like structure) and a gopuram (a gateway). This blending of architectural styles reflects the cultural diversity and religious tolerance of the Sultanate of Bahmani during the 15th century.
