Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Falus coin from the Sultanate of Bijapur 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 a mosque with a dome and minarets, alongside a Hindu temple with a tower and a flag, symbolizing the cultural and religious diversity of the region during the time of Ali Adil Shah I's reign.
