Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in the region. The coin was minted in 1874, which was during the reign of Abdulaziz, the 11th Sultan of the Ottoman Empire. At this time, the Ottoman Empire was facing significant challenges, including the loss of territories in the Balkans and North Africa, and the rise of nationalist movements within the empire. Despite these challenges, the Ottoman Empire continued to mint coins, such as this 1 Tilla coin, which were used for trade and commerce. This coin is a tangible reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of the region during this time period.
