Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Rupee coin from the Princely State of Jammu and Kashmir is that it features a unique blend of traditional Indian and Islamic architectural styles on its reverse side. The coin's design showcases the famous Pattar Masjid (Stone Mosque) in Srinagar, which was built during the reign of Sultan Sikandar in the 14th century. The mosque's intricate stone carvings and arches are prominently featured on the coin, along with the Jammu and Kashmir crest and the inscription "Pratap Singh" in Devnagari script. This blend of cultural influences reflects the rich history and diversity of the region, making the coin a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
