Comment

Saluva Dynasty Tara coins are generally found in Silver but some like this are found in gold

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Tara coin from the Saluva Dynasty is that it features a unique blend of Hindu and Islamic influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of a Hindu deity, while the reverse side features Islamic calligraphy and motifs, reflecting the cultural exchange and syncretism that characterized the Vijayanagara Empire.
