Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Tanka - Akbar (Malwa Type) 970-1000 (1563-1592) coin from the Mughal Empire (India) 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 a mosque, which reflects the Islamic influence on the Mughal Empire, while the arches and domes of the mosque are decorated with Hindu-style carvings and sculptures. This blending of styles is a testament to the cultural diversity and syncretism that characterized the Mughal Empire during Akbar's reign.
