Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Mohur - Jahangir (Virgo - Lahore) 1032 (1623) coin from the Mughal Empire (India) is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Hindu motifs. The coin's design includes an inscription in Persian, which was the official language of the Mughal court, as well as an image of the Hindu goddess Lakshmi, who was revered as the goddess of wealth and prosperity in Hinduism. This blending of religious symbols reflects the cultural diversity and syncretism of the Mughal Empire, which was known for its religious tolerance and patronage of the arts.
