Interesting fact
The Maratha Confederacy Rupee, which was issued during the reign of the Maratha Empire in India, features a unique design element - a crescent moon and a star on the obverse side. This symbolism was used to represent the Islamic influence on the Maratha Empire, which was a major power in the Indian subcontinent during the 17th and 18th centuries. The use of Islamic symbols on a coin issued by a Hindu empire highlights the cultural and religious diversity of the Maratha Confederacy and its willingness to adopt and incorporate elements from different faiths and cultures.
