Interesting fact
The Jital - Khusrau Malik (Crescent) coin from the Ghaznavid dynasty is interesting because it features a unique blend of Islamic and Hindu influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features Arabic script and the name of the ruler, Khusrau Malik, while the reverse side features a crescent moon and a Hindu deity, possibly Lord Shiva or Lord Vishnu, surrounded by a foliage motif. This blending of religious symbols reflects the cultural diversity of the Ghaznavid Empire, which spanned across parts of modern-day Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India during the 11th to 12th centuries.
