Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Dam coin from the Mughal Empire is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Hindu architectural styles on its reverse side. The coin's design includes a depiction of the Taj Mahal, which was built during the reign of Akbar, alongside other Islamic architectural elements such as arches and domes. However, the coin also features a Hindu temple tower, known as a shikhara, which was a distinctive feature of Hindu architecture in India at the time. This blending of styles reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the Mughal Empire, which was known for its syncretic approach to art and architecture.
