Interesting fact

The 1 Larin coin from Maldives, minted during the reign of Muhammad Mohyeddine in 1690, features a unique design element - a crescent moon and a star on the obverse side, which are symbols of Islam, the dominant religion in Maldives. This design was used on many coins of the time and has become a distinctive feature of Maldivian currency.
