Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Rupee - Akbar (Lahore) ND (1591-1592) coin from the Mughal Empire (India) 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 the Taj Mahal, which was built during the reign of Akbar's grandfather, Shah Jahan, and is considered one of the most iconic examples of Mughal architecture. The coin's use of both Islamic and Hindu motifs reflects the religious diversity of the Mughal Empire and the syncretic nature of its art and architecture.
