Interesting fact

The 1 Falus coin from the Sultanate of Bijapur, issued during the reign of Muhammad Adil Shah in 1037 (1628), features a unique blend of Islamic and Hindu architectural elements on its reverse side, reflecting the cultural syncretism that characterized the Indian Sultanates during that period.
