The Chattrapati Ramaraja 1181 (1768) silver rupee coin from the Maratha Empire features a unique blend of Indian and Islamic influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin bears the name of the king in Marathi, while the reverse side features a stylized representation of the Islamic crescent moon and star, which was a common motif in Islamic coinage of the time. This blending of cultural influences reflects the diverse and syncretic nature of the Maratha Empire, which was known for its religious tolerance and cultural exchange.
