Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Sultan Selim III, who was known for his efforts to modernize the Ottoman Empire. The coin's design reflects this modernization, as it features a stylized depiction of the Sultan's tughra (monogram) on one side and a stylized representation of the Kaaba on the other. This blending of traditional Islamic motifs with modern design elements was a hallmark of Selim III's reign and is a notable feature of this coin.
