Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Para coin from the Regency of Tripoli (Libya) made of Copper is that it features an image of Sultan Mahmud II on one side and an Arabic inscription on the other, which translates to "There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah" (Surah Al-Fatihah, verse 1). This inscription reflects the Islamic heritage and beliefs of the region where the coin was minted.
