Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Abdülhamid II, who was the last Ottoman Sultan to hold absolute power. He ruled from 1876 to 1909 and was known for his efforts to modernize the Ottoman Empire. The coin's design reflects this modernization, as it features a more Western-style portrait of the Sultan, rather than the traditional Islamic calligraphy found on earlier Ottoman coins.
