Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Para coin from the Regency of Tripoli (Libya) made of Copper is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Western design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the inscription "Mahmud II 1223" in Arabic, while the reverse side features a crowned shield with the initials "M" and "T" (for "Mahmud" and "Tripoli") flanked by two palm trees. This blend of Islamic calligraphy and Western heraldic elements reflects the cultural influences of the region during the time period.
