Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and European influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a portrait of Abdul Hamid II, the Ottoman Sultan at the time, wearing a fez and a long beard, while the reverse side features an intricate floral pattern and Arabic script. This blend of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between the Ottoman Empire and Europe during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
