The 1 Rupee coin from Bengal Presidency (British India) made of Silver weighing 11.26g, minted during the reign of Alamgir II (Ajmer) in 1754, features a unique blend of Islamic and Western architectural styles in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a mosque with a dome and minarets, while the reverse side features a crowned shield with the British royal arms, surrounded by a wreath. This blend of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence of the British colonial rule in India during that time.
