Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Manghir coin is that it was issued during the reign of Sultan Suleyman I, also known as Suleyman the Magnificent, who ruled the Ottoman Empire from 1520 to 1566. Suleyman I was known for his military conquests, legal reforms, and cultural achievements, and his reign is often considered the golden age of the Ottoman Empire. The Manghir coin, which was minted in 1562, is a testament to the economic and cultural prosperity of the Ottoman Empire during this time.
