Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Para coin from Baghdad Eyalet (Iraq) is that it was issued during the reign of Sultan Mahmud II, who ruled the Ottoman Empire from 1808 to 1839. This coin was part of a series of currency reforms implemented by Mahmud II, aimed at stabilizing the Ottoman economy and simplifying the currency system. The 50 Para coin was made of Billon, a metal alloy composed of copper, silver, and other metals, and weighed 4.62 grams. Despite its relatively small denomination, the coin was an important part of everyday transactions in Baghdad Eyalet and other regions of the Ottoman Empire.
