Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Dam ND (1098-1540) coin from Nepal is that it features a unique blend of Hindu and Buddhist motifs, reflecting the cultural and religious syncretism of the medieval period in Nepal. The coin's design includes a depiction of the Hindu goddess Lakshmi on one side and a Buddhist wheel on the other, symbolizing the harmonious coexistence of different religious traditions in the region.
