Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Suleiman I, also known as Suleiman the Magnificent, who was the tenth and longest-reigning sultan of the Ottoman Empire, ruling from 1520 until his death in 1566. During his reign, Suleiman I oversaw many significant changes in the Ottoman Empire, including military conquests, legal reforms, and cultural achievements. This coin, which was minted in Iran during his reign, is a testament to the extensive trade networks and cultural exchange that existed between different regions of the empire during this time.
