Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Dirhem - Osman II ND (1618) from Baghdad Eyalet (Iraq) is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Mongolian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the name and title of Sultan Osman II, while the reverse side features a stylized representation of a Mongolian gazelle, which was a symbol of good luck and prosperity in Mongolian culture. This blending of cultural influences reflects the rich history and diversity of the Ottoman Empire during the 17th century.
