Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Hindu elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the inscription "Muhammad Ali" in Arabic, while the reverse side features a depiction of the Hindu deity Lord Vishnu, indicating the cultural exchange and syncretism that existed during the Nawabdom of the Carnatic.
