Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Tilla coin from Sinkiang Province is that it was minted during the reign of Abdul Hamid II, who was the 34th Sultan of the Ottoman Empire. The coin features his name and title in Arabic script on one side, and the other side bears the image of a stylized flower, which was a common motif in Ottoman coinage during that time. The use of gold in the coin's composition also signifies the high value and importance of the coin during its time.
