One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Sultan Mahmud II, who ruled the Ottoman Empire from 1808 to 1839. He implemented many reforms during his reign, including the modernization of the Ottoman currency system, which led to the introduction of this reduced-size Para coin.
