Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Akce - Selim II 974 (1567) from Baghdad Eyalet (Iraq) made of Silver weighing 0.9 g is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Mongolian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features the name and title of Sultan Selim II in Arabic script, while the reverse side features a stylized depiction of a Mongolian-style dragon, which was a symbol of the Mongol Empire that had conquered much of the Middle East in the 13th century. This blending of cultural influences reflects the rich history and cultural diversity of the region where the coin was minted.
