Different variations and mintsInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Tanka coin is that it was issued during the reign of Shahrukh Mirza, who was the son of Timur (also known as Tamerlane), the founder of the Timurid Empire. The coin features an inscription in Persian that reads "Shahrukh, the Sultan of the World" and "Made in the year 1405," indicating the year it was minted. This coin is a rare and valuable example of the currency used during the Timurid Empire, which was a significant power in the region during the 15th century.
