Comment
Note: Unknown face value for the Onluk. Assumed here as 5 Nasri (5/52 Riyal).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Mehmed IV, who was the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1648 to 1693. This coin was minted in 1656, which was a significant year for the Ottoman Empire as it marked the beginning of a period of political and military decline for the empire. Despite this, the coin still holds historical value and is a sought-after collector's item for numismatists today.
