Comment
This is not a Turkish pattern, it`s Egypt (there is the MiSR munttoken, not Kustantiniye).
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 80 Para - Abdülmecid I (Pattern) 1277 (1861) coin from the Ottoman Empire is that it was designed by the French engraver and medalist, Charles Fremine. Fremine was known for his work on various coins and medals for different countries, and his design for this coin features a portrait of Abdülmecid I, the 31st Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, on one side, and an image of the Ottoman Empire's coat of arms on the other. The coin was minted in 1861 as a pattern coin, which means it was not intended for circulation but rather as a sample or prototype for a potential new coin design.
