Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Hindu architectural styles on its reverse side. The coin's design includes a depiction of the famous Taj Mahal, which was built during Shah Jahan's reign and is considered one of the most iconic examples of Mughal architecture.
