Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Para coin from Aleppo Eyalet (Syria) made of Copper weighing 1.2g is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and European influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features Arabic script and the year 1171 (1758 AD) in the Islamic calendar, while the reverse side features a stylized image of a lion, which was a common motif in European heraldry. This blending of cultural influences reflects the rich history and diversity of the region where the coin was minted.
