Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Jital coin from the Empire of Vijayanagara is that it features a unique blend of Hindu and Islamic influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features a depiction of Lord Venkateswara, a Hindu deity, while the reverse side features a Islamic inscription in Persian, indicating the coin's mintage during the reign of Deva Raya II. This blending of religious motifs reflects the diverse cultural influences that existed in the Vijayanagara Empire during that time period.
