One interesting fact about the Altin - Mehmed III 1003 (1595) coin from Baghdad Eyalet (Iraq) is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Mongolian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features the name of the Sultan, Mehmed III, in Arabic script, while the reverse side features a stylized depiction of a Mongolian gazelle, which was a symbol of the Mongol Empire that had conquered much of the Middle East in the 13th century. This blend of cultural influences reflects the rich history and cultural diversity of the region where the coin was minted.
