Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Dirhem - Suleiman I 942 (1536) from Baghdad Eyalet (Iraq) made of Silver weighing 4.37 g is that it features an inscription in Arabic that translates to "Suleiman, son of Selim, Sultan" on one side, and an image of a lion on the other. This coin was issued during the reign of Suleiman the Magnificent, who was the tenth and longest-reigning sultan of the Ottoman Empire, ruling from 1520 to 1566. The lion image on the coin was a symbol of power and strength, reflecting the Ottoman Empire's status as a dominant world power at the time.
