Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 20 Para coin from Eyalet of Egypt is that it was minted during the reign of Sultan Mahmud II, who ruled the Ottoman Empire from 1808 to 1839. This coin was issued in 1834-1835, which was a time of significant political and economic change in the region. The coin's design features an intricate pattern of Arabic script and ornate floral motifs, which reflects the cultural and artistic traditions of the Ottoman Empire during that time.
