Comment
Weight varies: 4.36-4.50 gInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Abdulhamid I, who was the first Ottoman Sultan to issue coins with his own name and title, rather than using the name of the previous Sultan. This coin, with its unique design and ornamentation, reflects the cultural and artistic influences of the Ottoman Empire during that time.
