Interesting fact
The Mughal Empire, which issued the 1 Falus - Akbar 1556 coin, was known for its religious tolerance and cultural diversity. Akbar the Great, who ruled the empire from 1556 to 1605, was particularly interested in promoting interfaith dialogue and understanding. He even established a new religion, Din-i-Ilahi, which combined elements of Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism. This coin, which features Arabic script and Islamic imagery, reflects the religious diversity of the Mughal Empire during Akbar's reign.
