Interesting fact

The 1 Rupee coin from the Princely state of Gwalior, issued during the reign of Muhammad Akbar II (Baija Bai) in 1827, 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 is a symbol of Islamic architecture, alongside a Hindu temple, showcasing the cultural diversity and syncretism of the Indian subcontinent during that time period.
