Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Abdülmecid I, who was the 31st Sultan of the Ottoman Empire and ruled from 1839 to 1861. He was known for his efforts to modernize the empire and introduce new economic and political reforms. The coin's design and materials also reflect the cultural and economic influences of the time, with the use of Billon (a silver-copper alloy) and the inclusion of Arabic script on the coin's reverse side.
