Comment
Note: Unknown face value for the Sultani. Assumed here as 20.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an inscription in Arabic that translates to "Mahmud, son of Abdulhamid, may God bless him" on one side, and "Sanah 1166" (the year 1753 in the Islamic calendar) on the other side. This indicates that the coin was issued during the reign of Mahmud I, who was the son of Abdulhamid, and that it was minted in the year 1753.
