Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅙ Kahavanu - Mahadeva ND (1261-1271) coin from the Yadava Dynasty is that it features a unique blend of Indian and Islamic influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears a depiction of the Hindu deity Mahadeva, while the reverse side features a Islamic inscription in Persian, indicating the coin's minting during the period of Islamic rule in India. This blending of cultural influences reflects the rich cultural diversity of the Yadava Dynasty and the broader Indian subcontinent during that time period.
