One interesting fact about the Dirhem - Mehmed IV (Aleppo, type 1) 1058 (1648) coin is that it was issued during a time of great turmoil in the Ottoman Empire. Mehmed IV was the Sultan at the time, and his reign was marked by political instability, wars with neighboring countries, and economic struggles. Despite these challenges, the Dirhem coin remained a widely used and trusted form of currency throughout the empire, and its design and production continued to be overseen by skilled craftsmen and officials.
