One interesting fact about the 2 Para coin from Baghdad Eyalet (Iraq) made of Copper and weighing 5.7g is that it was issued during the reign of Sultan Mahmud II in 1808, which was a time of significant political and economic change in the Ottoman Empire. The coin's design features an intricate pattern of Arabic script and ornate floral motifs, reflecting the cultural and artistic traditions of the region. Additionally, the coin's copper composition and relatively small weight make it a unique and interesting example of currency from this time period.
