Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 5 Para coin from the Ottoman Empire is that it was minted during the reign of Abdülmecid I, who was the 31st Sultan of the Ottoman Empire and ruled from 1839 to 1861. Abdülmecid I was known for his efforts to modernize the Ottoman Empire and introduce new economic and political reforms, which had a significant impact on the empire's currency and monetary system. The 5 Para coin, which was made of copper and weighed 3.0 grams, was one of the many coins that were minted during his reign, and it remains a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
