Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Rupee coin from the Kingdom of Assam is that it features a unique blend of traditional Assamese and Islamic architectural styles on its reverse side. The coin's design includes a depiction of a mosque, which reflects the Islamic influence on the region during the 18th century, while the arches and domes are styled in a distinctly Assamese manner. This blending of styles is a testament to the cultural diversity and rich history of the region.
