Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Tanka - Akbar (Ujjain) coin from the Mughal Empire (India) is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Hindu motifs on its design. The coin's obverse side features the name of the Mughal emperor Akbar in Persian script, while the reverse side depicts a Hindu deity, Lord Rama, along with his consort Sita and brother Lakshmana. This blending of religious symbols reflects the religious tolerance and syncretism that was a hallmark of the Mughal Empire during Akbar's reign.
