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 motifs in its design. The coin's obverse side features the name of the emperor, Shah Alam Bahadur, in Persian script, while the reverse side depicts a stylized image of the Hindu goddess Lakshmi, who is revered as the goddess of wealth and prosperity. This blending of cultural influences reflects the diverse and syncretic nature of the Mughal Empire, which was known for its religious tolerance and cultural exchange.
