The ¼ Rupee coin from the Princely state of Jaisalmer, issued during the reign of Muhammad Shah in 1153 (1741), features a unique blend of Islamic and Hindu architectural styles on its reverse side. The coin's design showcases a combination of arches and domes, which were characteristic of Islamic architecture, along with a depiction of a Hindu temple, reflecting the cultural diversity of the region. This blend of styles is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Indian princely states and their ability to adapt and incorporate different artistic traditions.
