Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Mahmud II, who was the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1808 to 1839, on one side, and an image of a crescent moon and a five-pointed star on the other side, which symbolizes the Islamic faith and is a common motif in Ottoman coinage.
