Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Mehmed IV, who was the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1648 to 1693. During his reign, the Ottoman Empire was involved in several significant conflicts, including the Great Turkish War with the Holy Roman Empire, which lasted from 1683 to 1699. Despite these challenges, Mehmed IV's reign is also remembered for its cultural achievements, including the construction of several notable buildings and the development of literature and art.
