Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Falus coin from the Sultanate of Golkonda 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 Charminar, a famous monument in Hyderabad, which was the capital of the Golkonda Sultanate. The Charminar is a symbol of the city's rich history and cultural heritage, and its inclusion on the coin highlights the diverse influences that shaped the region's art and architecture during the time of Abd Allah Qutb Shah's rule.
