Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Jani Muhammad Khan, who was the last ruler of the Janid dynasty, which was a Turkic dynasty that ruled over parts of Central Asia, including Bukhara and Balkh, from the 15th to the 17th century. Despite being the last ruler, Jani Muhammad Khan's reign was marked by significant political and economic reforms, including the introduction of a new currency system, which included the 1 Tanka coin. This coin, made of silver and weighing 4.62 grams, was an important part of the currency system and was widely used in trade and commerce during that time.
