Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Tanka coin from the Sultanate of Bengal is that it was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material that was widely used in coinage during that time period. The use of silver in coins was a symbol of the wealth and power of the Sultanate, and it also made the coins more durable and resistant to wear and tear. Additionally, the fact that the coin weighs 10.14g suggests that it was a significant denomination, likely used for large transactions or as a store of value.
