Interesting fact

The Rupee coin from the Princely state of Mewar (Indian princely states) made of Silver weighing 10.75g has a unique feature. It has a crescent moon and a star on the obverse side, which is not commonly found on other coins of the same era. This feature was added to the coin to symbolize the Islamic influence on the princely state of Mewar during that time.
