Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Rupee coin from the Mughal Empire (India) made of Silver weighing 5.7g is that it was issued during the reign of Emperor Akbar, who was known for his religious tolerance and his efforts to promote art, literature, and architecture. The coin features an inscription in Persian that reads "Akbar, the Sultan of the Mughals" and on the reverse side, it has a unique mintage symbol of a crescent moon and a star. This coin was widely used during Akbar's reign (1594-1605) and is considered a rare and valuable collector's item today.
