Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Sulayman II, who was the last sultan of the Rûm Sultanate, a Turkish state that existed in Anatolia (modern-day Turkey) from the 11th to the 14th century. Despite being the last sultan, Sulayman II's reign saw a significant increase in the production of coins, including this particular coin, which was made of copper and weighed 7.90 grams. This suggests that the sultanate was still economically robust at the time, despite its eventual decline and fall in the early 14th century.
