Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Ahmed I, who was the first Sultan of the Ottoman Empire to issue gold coins as a standard circulating currency, rather than just as a ceremonial or commemorative coinage. This indicates the importance of gold as a valuable resource and medium of exchange during that time period.
