Interesting fact

The 1 Mohur coin from Arcot (French India) made of Gold is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Muhammad Shah, who was the first Muslim ruler of the Carnatic region in southern India. This coin is a rare example of Islamic coinage from the region and features Arabic inscriptions on one side and a depiction of the ruler on the other. Additionally, the use of gold as the material for the coin highlights the wealth and prosperity of the region at the time.
