Comment
For Gujarat coin the zero is a "O" not a dot.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1½ Falus coin from the Sultanate of Gujarat 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 mihrab, minarets, and a dome, which reflects the Islamic influence on the region. However, the arches and domes are also adorned with Hindu-style carvings and sculptures, showcasing the cultural fusion that existed during the Sultanate's rule in India. This blend of styles is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the region and the diverse influences that shaped its history.
