Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Tanka coin from the Emirate of Bitlis (Kurdish dynasty) is that it features an inscription in the Kurdish language, which is a rare occurrence in coinage from that time period. The inscription on the coin reads "Sharaf b. Muhammad" in Kurdish script, indicating the name of the ruler who issued the coin. This highlights the cultural and linguistic diversity of the region and showcases the rich history of the Kurdish people.
