Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Mohar coin from the Patan Kingdom (Malla dynasty) is that it features a unique blend of Hindu and Islamic influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features the name of the king, Mahindra Simha, in Devanagari script, while the reverse side features a stylized representation of the Hindu goddess Lakshmi, along with Islamic motifs such as a crescent moon and a star. This blending of cultural influences reflects the rich cultural heritage of the Patan Kingdom, which was known for its religious tolerance and syncretism.
