Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Kurus - Mustafa II (Kostantiniyye) 1106 (1695) from Ottoman Empire made of Billon (.425 silver) weighing 19.7 g is that it was issued during the reign of Sultan Mustafa II, who was known for his efforts to modernize the Ottoman Empire and strengthen its economy. The coin's design, which features an ornate floral pattern and Arabic script, reflects the cultural and artistic influences of the time. Additionally, the use of billon, a silver-copper alloy, was a common practice in Ottoman coinage during this period, as it helped to conserve silver while still maintaining the coin's value.
