Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Tanka - Iskandar ND (1420-1436) from Tribal federation of Qara Qoyunlu made of Silver weighing 4.25 g is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Mongolian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features a stylized representation of the Mongolian emperor, while the reverse side features a traditional Islamic crescent moon and star motif. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history of the Qara Qoyunlu tribe, who were Turkic-speaking tribes that were influenced by both Mongolian and Islamic cultures.
