Comment
The 1327/1 coin has its mintage combined with the 1293/34 100 kurush coin of Abdülhamid II.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 100 Kurus coin from the Ottoman Empire is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Western influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features the Tughra (an ornamental signature) of Sultan Mehmed V, while the reverse side features a stylized depiction of the Sultan's crown, which was inspired by European heraldic traditions. This blending of styles reflects the Ottoman Empire's position as a bridge between East and West, and its efforts to modernize and adopt Western practices while still maintaining its Islamic heritage.
