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 architectural styles on its reverse side. The coin's design includes a depiction of the Taj Mahal, which was built during Shah Jahan's reign and is considered one of the most iconic examples of Mughal architecture. At the same time, the coin also features a depiction of a Hindu temple, reflecting the cultural diversity of the Mughal Empire. This blend of styles is a testament to the syncretic nature of Mughal art and architecture, which drew inspiration from a variety of cultural and religious traditions.
