Interesting fact
The 1 Dam coin from the Mughal Empire, issued during the reign of Aziz-ud-din Alamgir II in 1167 (1754), features a unique blend of Islamic and Hindu motifs on its design. The obverse side of the coin bears the name of the emperor in Persian, while the reverse side features a stylized lotus flower, which is a common motif in Hindu art and architecture. This blending of cultural influences reflects the diverse and syncretic nature of the Mughal Empire, which was known for its fusion of Islamic, Persian, and Indian traditions.
