Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Falus coin from the Sultanate of 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 dome and minarets, surrounded by a decorative border that incorporates Hindu temple architectural elements, such as a carved entrance arch and a row of bells. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and syncretism that occurred during the reign of Mahmud Shah II, who ruled the Sultanate of Malwa from 1510 to 1531.
