Comment
Copper Pattern Strike of KM#97Interesting fact
The Pattern 4 Kharub - Abdulmecid I (Pattern) 1255 (1839) from Beylik of Tunis (Tunisia) made of Copper is a rare and valuable coin among collectors due to its historical significance and limited mintage. It was issued during the reign of Abdulmecid I, who was the first caliph of the Ottoman Empire and ruled from 1839 to 1861. The coin's design features a unique pattern, with the obverse side bearing the tughra (monogram) of Abdulmecid I, while the reverse side features a stylized flower motif. The use of copper as the material for this coin was also significant, as it was a departure from the traditional gold or silver coins that were commonly used in the region at the time.
