The Tanka was a standard silver coin introduced during the Delhi Sultanate period, particularly under the rule of Iltutmish in the early 13th century. It was a significant part of the monetary reforms during the Sultanate era. The Tanka coinage system became a symbol of the Sultanate’s economic control and was issued primarily in silver, although there were variations of the Tanka in gold and copper as well.
