Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Abbasi-Mahmud I 1143 (1731) silver coin from the Ottoman Empire is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Western influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features Arabic script and the Ottoman Empire's official seal, while the reverse side features a stylized depiction of a lion, which was a common motif in Western coinage at the time. This blending of styles reflects the Ottoman Empire's position as a bridge between East and West, and its ability to absorb and adapt different cultural influences.
