Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Tanka coin from the Sultanate of Malwa is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Hindu architectural styles on its reverse side. The coin's design includes a depiction of a mosque with a central dome and minarets, surrounded by a Hindu-style temple with a shikhara (tower) and a gopuram (gateway). This blending of architectural styles reflects the cultural exchange and syncretism that occurred during the Sultanate of Malwa's rule in medieval India.
