Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Damra coin is that it was issued during the reign of Emperor Akbar, who was known for his religious tolerance and his efforts to promote a syncretic form of Islam that incorporated elements of Hinduism and other religions. This coin, which features an inscription in Persian and a depiction of a mosque, reflects the religious diversity of the Mughal Empire during this time period.
