Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Sher Shah Suri 1 Tanka coin is that it was issued during a time of great economic and cultural growth in the Sur Empire, which was a short-lived but powerful empire that emerged in the 16th century in the Indian subcontinent. Despite its brief existence, the Sur Empire made significant contributions to the development of trade, commerce, and the arts, and its coins remain an important part of Indian numismatic history.
