Comment
Mint: MisrInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Sultan Murad IV, who was the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1623 to 1640. He was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to reform the Ottoman Empire, which had been in decline for many years. The coin itself is a rare example of a silver coin issued during this time period, as most coins from this era were made of copper or other base metals. Additionally, the coin's design features a unique blend of Islamic and Ottoman motifs, reflecting the cultural and artistic influences of the time.
