Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Abdülmecid I, who was the last Sultan of the Ottoman Empire to rule under the traditional Islamic caliphate system. He reigned from 1839 to 1861 and was known for his efforts to modernize the Ottoman Empire, including the adoption of Western-style currency like this gold coin.
