Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Mohur - Jahangir (Ajmer) 1023 (1614) coin from the Mughal Empire (India) made of Gold weighing 10.9 g is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Hindu motifs. The coin's design includes Arabic inscriptions and Islamic symbols, such as the crescent moon and star, alongside Hindu symbols like the lotus flower and the swastika, which was a sacred symbol in Hinduism before it was adopted by the Nazi party in the 20th century. This blending of cultural influences reflects the diverse religious and artistic traditions of the Mughal Empire during Jahangir's reign.
