Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Dirhem - Selim II 974 (1567) coin from Baghdad Eyalet (Iraq) is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Mongolian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features the name and title of Sultan Selim II, while the reverse side includes a stylized representation of a Mongolian gazelle, which was a symbol of the Mongol Empire that had conquered much of the Middle East in the 13th century. This blend of styles reflects the complex cultural and political history of the region during the 16th century.
