Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Pagoda coin from the Empire of Vijayanagara is that it features a unique blend of Hindu and Islamic architectural styles on its reverse side. The coin's design includes a depiction of a mosque-like structure with a dome and minarets, surrounded by intricate carvings and ornate details that are characteristic of Hindu temple architecture. This fusion of styles reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the Vijayanagara Empire, which was known for its tolerance and acceptance of different faiths and cultures.
