Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features two different rulers on opposite sides. Abdulmecid I is depicted on one side, while Muhammad III is featured on the other. This unique design reflects the historical context in which the coin was minted, during a time of political transition and power sharing between the two rulers.
