Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Ahmad Shah III 1 Tanka coin 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 styles reflects the cultural diversity and religious syncretism that characterized the Sultanate of Gujarat during Ahmad Shah III's reign.
