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 astrological symbols. The obverse side of the coin depicts the Capricornus symbol, which is associated with the Islamic month of Muharram, while the reverse side features the Agra symbol, which is associated with the Hindu astrological sign of Capricorn. This blending of symbols reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the Mughal Empire during the reign of Emperor Jahangir.
