Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Nisfi - Akbar (Narnol) 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 both Islamic and Hindu symbols, reflects the religious diversity of the Mughal Empire during this period.
