Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Fath Khan bin Firoz Tughluq 760 (1359) 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 a mosque with a central dome and minarets, surrounded by a Hindu-style temple with a shikhara (tower) and a gopuram (gateway). This blending of architectural styles reflects the cultural diversity and syncretism of the Sultanate of Delhi during the Tughluq dynasty.
