The ½ Larin "Kuda" coin from Maldives, issued during the reign of Hasan Nooraddeen I in 1194 (1780), features a unique design element - a line over the date. This line is believed to represent the Islamic crescent moon, which is a symbol of the Islamic faith that is deeply rooted in Maldivian culture. The inclusion of this symbol on the coin highlights the importance of Islam in the country's history and identity.
