Interesting fact
The 1 Para coin from Baghdad Eyalet (Iraq) made of Copper during Mustafa III's reign (1751-1764) features an unique blend of Islamic and Western influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts the Sultan's name and title in Arabic, while the reverse side features a stylized representation of a lion, which was a common motif in Western numismatics at the time. This blending of cultural influences reflects the rich history and diversity of the Ottoman Empire during that period.
