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 design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the inscription "al-Sultanu al-Azam Mahmud II" (The Great Sultan Mahmud II) in Arabic, while the reverse side features a crowned shield with the numeral "1" in the center, surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves. This blend of Islamic calligraphy and European-style heraldic elements reflects the cultural influences present in the Regency of Tripoli during the 19th century.
