Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Para coin from the Ottoman Empire, minted during the reign of Mustafa IV in 1222 (1807), is that it was made of Billon, an alloy of silver and other metals, which was commonly used in the production of coins during that time period. Despite being made of a relatively low-value material, the coin still holds significant historical and numismatic value, offering a glimpse into the economic and monetary systems of the Ottoman Empire during the early 19th century.
