Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1½ Mohur coin from the Kingdom of Assam is that it features a unique blend of traditional Assamese and Islamic architectural styles on its reverse side. The coin's design includes a depiction of a mosque with a dome and minarets, surrounded by intricate floral patterns and calligraphic inscriptions in both Assamese and Persian. This fusion of styles reflects the cultural diversity and religious tolerance of the Assamese kingdom during the 17th century.
