Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Mohur - Jahangir (Sagittarius - Agra) coin from the Mughal Empire (India) is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Hindu astrological symbols. The coin's obverse side bears the inscription "Jahangir, the Sultan of the World" in Persian, while the reverse side features an image of the zodiac sign of Sagittarius, which is not commonly found on Islamic coins. This blending of cultural and religious symbols reflects the diverse and syncretic nature of the Mughal Empire during Jahangir's reign.
