Comment
No ruler or date infoInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Manghir coin is that it was used as a form of currency during a time of great cultural and economic change in the Ottoman Empire. The coin was issued during the reign of Sultan Bayezid II, who ruled from 1481 to 1512, and it was used to facilitate trade and commerce throughout the empire. Despite its small size and relatively low value, the Manghir coin played an important role in the economy of the time and is now a sought-after collector's item for numismatists.
