Comment
Diameter varies: 11-13 mmInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Jadid 1168 (1755) coin from Eyalet of Egypt is that it was minted during a time of significant economic and political change in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of Sultan Osman III, who was attempting to modernize and strengthen the Ottoman Empire, which had been facing challenges from European powers and internal strife. The use of copper for the coin's material also reflects the economic conditions of the time, as copper was a more affordable and accessible material than other metals. This coin is a small but fascinating piece of history that provides a glimpse into the complex and dynamic world of the 18th century Middle East.
