Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Sultan Abdülaziz, who was the 32nd Sultan of the Ottoman Empire and ruled from 1861 to 1876. During his reign, the Ottoman Empire was going through a period of modernization and reform, known as the Tanzimat, which aimed to modernize the empire's administrative, legal, and economic systems. The minting of this coin, which was made of silver and had a relatively low denomination, reflects the efforts of the Ottoman government to promote trade and commerce within the empire and beyond.
