Interesting fact

The 1 Tanka coin from the City of Al-Hisn (Tribal federation of Aq Qoyunlu) made of Silver weighing 4.40 g is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Khalil ND (1477-1478), which was a time of significant political and economic change in the region. The Aq Qoyunlu tribe was a powerful force in the area, and the coin's issuance likely reflects the tribe's growing influence and power. Additionally, the fact that the coin was made of silver, a valuable and durable metal, suggests that it was intended to be a symbol of wealth and prosperity for the tribe and its people.
