Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ½ Tanka coin from the Sultanate of Malwa is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Hindu architectural styles on its reverse side. The coin's design includes a depiction of a mosque with a mihrab, minarets, and a dome, alongside a Hindu temple with a shikhara and a gopuram. This blending of architectural styles reflects the cultural diversity and religious syncretism that existed in the Indian Sultanates during the 15th century.
