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, surrounded by a Hindu temple with a tower and a flag. This blending of architectural styles reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the Sultanate of Bijapur during the rule of Ali Adil Shah I.
