Interesting fact
The 10 Para coin with the image of Abdulhamid I (with flower) was issued during the Regency of Tripoli, which was a short-lived state that existed from 1773 to 1783. The coin was made of Billon, a type of alloy that consists of a mixture of copper, silver, and other metals. Despite its relatively low value, the coin is considered a rare and valuable collector's item today, particularly among numismatists who specialize in Islamic coins.
