Comment
Actually, its too hard to say which legend is thinner or thicker - 112.1 or 112.2. clearly Visible difference is that legend on 112.2 is bit closer to wreath. image with two coins of the same years, but different KM# : 112,1 and 112.2Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features two different rulers, Abdulmecid I and Muhammad II, on opposite sides, which is a unique design element for a coin.
