Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Falus coin of Ibrahim Shah II (Malwa) 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 central dome and minarets, surrounded by a decorative border that showcases Hindu-style ornamentation, such as lotus motifs and scrollwork. This fusion of architectural styles reflects the cultural exchange and syncretism that occurred during the Sultanate of Delhi's rule in India.
