Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Tanka coin minted during the reign of Muhammad III bin Tughluq of the Sultanate of Delhi 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 dome and minarets, alongside a Hindu temple with a shikhara and a gopuram, reflecting the cultural syncretism that characterized the Delhi Sultanate's art and architecture during that period.
