Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Dam coin from the Mughal Empire (India) made of Copper weighing 20.20g is that it features an inscription in the Persian language, which was the official language of the Mughal court during Akbar's reign. The inscription includes the name of the emperor, Akbar, and the date of minting, which is represented by the Islamic year "1068" (equivalent to 1556-1557 CE). This coin is a rare and valuable example of Mughal currency from that time period, and its inscription provides valuable information about the history and culture of the Mughal Empire.
