Comment
Such coins were issued by the Shirvanshah Ibrahim I in the name of Shadi Beg.
Interesting fact
The Tanka coin , issued by the Golden Horde in 1407, is interesting because it features a unique blend of Islamic and Mongolian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the inscription "Shadi Beg" in Mongolian, while the reverse side features an Arabic inscription that reads "al-sultanu al-azam" (meaning "the great king"). This blending of cultures reflects the diverse heritage of the Golden Horde, which was a Mongol khanate that ruled over a vast territory stretching from Eastern Europe to Central Asia.
