Interesting fact
The 1 Paisa coin from the Sikh Empire (1822-1830) is interesting because it features a unique blend of Indian and Islamic influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features a depiction of the Sikh symbol, the Khanda, which represents the unity of God, while the reverse side features a stylized representation of the Islamic crescent moon and star. This blending of religious symbols reflects the diverse cultural influences that shaped the Sikh Empire during its time.
