One interesting fact about the 3 Findik coin from the Ottoman Empire is that it was minted during the reign of Sultan Abdul Hamid I, who ruled from 1774 to 1789. The coin features a unique design, with the Sultan's name and title inscribed in Arabic script on one side, and a simple geometric pattern on the other. The coin was made of gold and weighed 10.45 grams, making it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
