Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Mohur - Jahangir (Sagittarius - Lahore) 1035-1036 (1626-1627) coin from the Mughal Empire (India) is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Hindu astrological symbols. The obverse side of the coin depicts the Islamic symbol of the crescent moon and star, while the reverse side features the Hindu symbol of the sun and the zodiac sign of Sagittarius. This blending of religious symbols reflects the cultural diversity and syncretism of the Mughal Empire during the reign of Emperor Jahangir.
