Interesting fact
The Dirhem - Ibrahim I 1049 (1640) from Baghdad Eyalet (Iraq) is a rare coin that features a unique blend of Islamic and Mongolian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features a stylized representation of the Mongolian emperor, Ibrahim I, while the reverse side bears the traditional Islamic inscription, "There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah." This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history of the region during the 17th century, when the Mongolian Empire was expanding its territories and interacting with local populations.
