Weight varies: 2.77-2.90 gInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Dirhem coin is that it was issued during the reign of Mehmed IV, who was the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1648 to 1649, and then again from 1650 to 1651. This coin was minted in Baghdad, which was a significant center of trade and commerce during the Ottoman Empire. The fact that it was made of silver and weighs 2.9 grams suggests that it was a valuable and widely used coin during its time.
