Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Tanka coin from the Emirate of Bitlis is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Kurdish influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features Arabic script and the name of the ruler, Ibrahim ibn Muhammad, while the reverse side features a stylized Kurdish dragon, which was a symbol of the Kurdish dynasty that ruled Bitlis. This blend of cultures reflects the rich history and diversity of the region where the coin was minted.
