Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Para - Mahmud II 1223 (1832) coin from Regency of Tripoli (Libya) made of Copper is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Western influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features Arabic script and a depiction of the Ottoman Sultan Mahmud II, while the reverse side features a crowned shield with the number "1" in the center, surrounded by a wreath and a crescent moon. This blend of Islamic and Western design elements reflects the cultural and historical context of the Regency of Tripoli during the 19th century, when the region was under Ottoman rule but also had strong ties to European powers.
