Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Tanka coin from 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, which reflects the Islamic influence on the region, while the arches and domes of the mosque are decorated with Hindu-style carvings and sculptures. This blending of styles is a testament to the cultural exchange and syncretism that occurred during the Delhi Sultanate period, and it makes the coin a fascinating piece of history.
