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 Islamic symbol of the crescent moon, while the reverse side features the Hindu symbol of the scorpion, representing the astrological sign of Scorpio. This blending of religious symbols reflects the cultural diversity and syncretism of the Mughal Empire during the reign of Emperor Jahangir.
