Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the coin is that it was issued during the reign of Abdulhamid I, who was the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1774 to 1789. The coin was minted in the Regency of Tripoli, which was a province of the Ottoman Empire located in present-day Libya. The use of the name "Beshlik" for the coin's denomination is also notable, as it refers to a small silver coin that was widely used in the Ottoman Empire during that time.
