Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Pagoda coin from the Empire of Vijayanagara is that it features a unique blend of Hindu and Islamic architectural styles in its design. The coin's obverse side depicts a stylized temple with a dome and minarets, while the reverse side features a mosque with arches and domes. This blending of styles reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the Vijayanagara Empire, which was known for its religious tolerance and syncretism.
