Comment
Muhammadabad Banaras mint.Interesting fact
The Mohammad Shah Rupee, which was issued during the Mughal Empire in India, features a unique blend of Islamic and Hindu architectural styles on its reverse side. The coin's design includes a depiction of the Taj Mahal, which was built during the reign of Shah Jahan, the predecessor of Mohammad Shah. This blend of architectural styles reflects the cultural syncretism that was prevalent during the Mughal period, where Islamic and Hindu influences coexisted and interacted in various ways.
