Comment
Mint JhansiInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Shah Alam II Rupee coin is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Hindu architectural elements on its reverse side. The coin's design includes a depiction of the Taj Mahal, which is a famous Islamic monument in India, alongside a Hindu temple and a Persian-style arch. This blending of cultural influences reflects the diverse cultural heritage of the Maratha Empire, which was known for its religious tolerance and syncretism.
