Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Tanka coin from the Janid dynasty (Bukhara) is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Mongolian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the inscription "Al-Sultanu al-Azam" (The Great Sultan) in Arabic, while the reverse side features a stylized depiction of a dragon, which was a symbol associated with the Mongolian Empire. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history of Central Asia during the 18th century, when the region was a crossroads of various empires and cultures.
