Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Abdülhamid I, who was the 27th Sultan of the Ottoman Empire and ruled from 1789 to 1807. 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.
