Similar to type A, but with large crescents at both sides, similar to Turkey 10 Para (C#197) but without wreathesInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Mahmud II, who was the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1808 to 1839. He implemented many reforms during his rule, including the modernization of the Ottoman military and the creation of a new currency system, which led to the minting of this coin.
