Note: This&nbsp;Lion-type silver tanka&nbsp;was struck during the early years of&nbsp;Jalal ud-din Muhammad Shah’s&nbsp;second reign and remains one of the most iconic coin types of the Bengal Sultanate. Introduced around AH 824 (1421 AD), the lion motif is thought to symbolize royal power and sovereign authority, possibly serving as a political statement to assert dominance over rival factions. The inclusion of the Lion-an exceptionally uncommon emblem in Islamic coinage marked a significant artistic and ideological innovation, later influencing the coinage of subsequent Bengal rulers and even the kings of Tripura.&nbsp;
