Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ¼ Rupee coin from the Maratha Empire 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, which reflects the Islamic influence on the Maratha Empire, while the arches and domes are reminiscent of Hindu temples. This blend of styles is a testament to the cultural diversity and syncretism that characterized the Maratha Empire during its rule in India.
