Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Findik - Ahmed III ND (1703-1730) coin from the Ottoman Empire is that it was minted during a time of significant economic and political change in the empire. Ahmed III's reign saw the introduction of new economic policies, including the creation of a new currency system, which replaced the traditional system of weight-based currency with a standardized system based on the gold coin. This coin, made of gold and weighing 3.49g, was a part of this new system and was used widely throughout the empire.
