Comment
The Sunni kalima and the date in the center, the 12 Shi'ite Imams in the reverse, some porosity on both sidesInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Double Tanka coin from the Tribal federation of Qara Qoyunlu is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Mongolian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the name of the Mongolian emperor, Hasan 'Ali, while the reverse side features an Arabic inscription that reads "There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah." This blending of cultures and religions reflects the diverse cultural heritage of the Qara Qoyunlu tribe and the broader region in which they lived.
