Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Para coin from the Ottoman Empire is that it was minted during the reign of Sultan Abdülaziz, who was known for his modernization efforts and his attempt to adopt Western-style reforms in the empire. This coin, which was made of copper and weighed 10.65 grams, was part of a larger effort to standardize the Ottoman currency and make it more compatible with European currency systems. Despite the efforts to modernize, the Ottoman Empire was facing significant economic challenges at the time, including high inflation and debt, which made it difficult to maintain the value of its currency.
