Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Tanka coin from the Sultanate of Gujarat 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 mihrab, indicating the Islamic influence, while the arches and domes are reminiscent of Hindu temple architecture. This fusion of styles reflects the cultural exchange and syncretism that occurred during the Sultanate's rule in India.
