Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Rupee - Ahmed Shah Bahadur (Katak) ND (1748-1754) coin from the Maratha Empire is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Hindu architectural styles on its reverse side. The coin's design showcases a combination of arches and domes, which were characteristic of Islamic architecture, along with a sculpture of a Hindu deity, reflecting the cultural syncretism that was prevalent during the Maratha Empire's rule in India.
