Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Dirhem - Murad III (Aleppo, type 2) 982 (1575) coin from Aleppo Eyalet (Syria) is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Christian imagery. The obverse side of the coin depicts the bust of Murad III, the Ottoman Sultan at the time, wearing a turban and a beard, while the reverse side features a cross-like design with four crescents in the corners, surrounded by an inscription in Arabic. This blending of religious symbols reflects the diverse cultural influences present in the region during the Ottoman Empire.
