Comment
Weight varies: 2.40-2.75 gInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Para coin from the Regency of Tripoli (Libya) made of Copper and weighing 2.94g is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and European influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the inscription "Abdulhamid I" in Arabic, while the reverse side features a crowned shield with a crescent moon and star, which was a common motif in European heraldry. This blending of design elements reflects the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred during the Regency of Tripoli's history.
