Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Ahmed I, who was the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1603 to 1617. The coin was minted in Damascus, which was a significant center of trade and commerce during the Ottoman era. The fact that it was made of silver and weighs only 0.22 grams suggests that it was a small denomination coin, likely used for everyday transactions.
