This listing is for the photographed Eastern Islamic Mughal Coin Blue Lyre Fleur De Lis Spoon. Rare silverplated Eastern Islamic Mughal Coin Spoon featuring a Blue Lyre at the top with a small red Fleur De Lis inside the lyre. An eastern Islamic Mughal coin spoon is a ceremonial or decorative spoon from the Mughal Empire or before which combines historical coins with an antique spoon, and usually features a symbol on the handle. The lyre has ancient origins dating back to 2700 BCE in Mesopotamia and has been used for centuries during religious ceremonies, official events, and entertainment. The Fleur De Lis which is often associated with France and European Christians might have been adopted by them by Crusading Knights in the holy land during the crusades as the symbol appears on coins from the Umayyad Caliphate and other Islamic states during the 7th and 8th centuries.
