Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Abdülhamid I, who was the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1774 to 1789. He was known for his efforts to modernize the empire and promote education, and this coin may have been part of a larger effort to standardize currency and promote trade within the empire.
