Interesting fact
The Dirhem coin , issued during the reign of Suleiman I in 1520, was part of a significant monetary reform that took place during his rule. Suleiman I introduced a new currency system, which included the use of silver coins, like the Dirhem, as the standard currency for the Ottoman Empire. This reform helped to stabilize the empire's economy and facilitate trade across its vast territories.
