Interesting fact
The 1 Tanka coin from Esen Bûqâ ibn Wais Khan, minted in 854 AH (1450 CE), is notable for being part of the Moghulistan region, which was a successor state of the Chagatai Khanate. This coin reflects the blend of Mongol and Turkic cultures, as it emerged during a period when the khanate was transitioning from its nomadic roots to a more settled existence, influenced by local traditions and trade along the Silk Road.
