Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin 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. He was known for his efforts to modernize the Ottoman Empire and introduce new reforms, which had a significant impact on the empire's economy, military, and administrative structures. The coin's design and mintage were likely a reflection of these reforms and the sultan's desire to promote the empire's rich history and cultural heritage.
