Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 10 Para coin from the Ottoman Empire is that it was issued during the reign of Mustafa III, who was known for his efforts to modernize the empire and promote cultural and artistic advancements. Despite being made of a relatively low-value material, the Billon, the coin's design and craftsmanship were still of high quality, reflecting the empire's rich cultural heritage.
