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 bears the inscription "Sri Riddhi Narasimha" in Nagari script, which is a style of writing used in Hindu and Buddhist texts, while the reverse side features a stylized representation of the Islamic crescent moon and star motif. This blending of cultural influences reflects the diverse religious and artistic traditions of the Patan Kingdom during the 18th century.
