Interesting fact
The 1 Rupee coin from the Mughal Empire, issued during the reign of Emperor Jahangir (1620-1628), features a unique blend of Islamic and Hindu motifs on its design. The obverse side of the coin bears the inscription "Sikka Zad Bar Jahangir" ( coin struck by Jahangir) in Persian, while the reverse side features a stylized lotus flower, which is a symbol of Hinduism and Buddhism. This blending of cultural influences reflects the religious tolerance and syncretism that characterized the Mughal Empire during Jahangir's rule.
