Interesting fact
The 1 Tanka coin from the Sur Empire (Indian Sultanates) made of Silver weighing 11.3g has an interesting fact that it was used as a currency during the reign of Sher Shah Suri, who was a powerful ruler and military leader in the 16th century. He was known for his architectural projects, including the construction of the Old Fort in Delhi, and his coinage system, which was based on a uniform standard and had a high level of purity. The 1 Tanka coin was an important part of this system and was widely used throughout the empire for trade and commerce.
