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 elements of Hindu temple architecture. This fusion of styles reflects the cultural diversity and religious syncretism that characterized the Indian Sultanates during the reign of Muhammad Akbar.
