Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Manghir coin is that it features intricate arabesques, which are ornate floral or vegetal designs that were a hallmark of Ottoman art and architecture during the reign of Bayezid II. These designs not only add beauty to the coin but also reflect the cultural and artistic influences of the Ottoman Empire during that time.
