Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Mohur coin from the Mughal Empire is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Hindu motifs. The coin's design includes an inscription in Persian, which was the official language of the Mughal court, as well as an image of a Hindu deity, Lord Vishnu, signifying the religious diversity of the empire. This blending of cultures and religions was a hallmark of the Mughal Empire, which was known for its religious tolerance and syncretic artistic traditions.
