Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Para coin from Baghdad Eyalet (Iraq) made of Copper is that it was issued during the reign of Sultan Mahmud II, who ruled the Ottoman Empire from 1808 to 1839. This coin was part of a series of currency reforms that Mahmud II implemented to modernize the Ottoman economy and stabilize the currency. The 1 Para coin was equivalent to 1/40 of a gold lira, and it was widely used in trade and commerce throughout the empire.
