Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Rupee coin from the Mughal Empire (India) made of Silver weighing 5.50g is that it features an inscription in Persian that reads "Akbar, the Sultan of Hindustan" on one side, and an image of a lion on the other. This coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Akbar (1556-1605), who was known for his military campaigns, administrative reforms, and religious tolerance. The coin's design reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the Mughal Empire, which was a blend of Islamic, Persian, and Indian influences.
