Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Manghir - Mehmed II (Edirne) 857-867 (1453-1463) coin from the Ottoman Empire is that it was issued during the reign of Mehmed II, also known as Mehmed the Conqueror, who was the seventh Sultan of the Ottoman Empire and ruled from 1451 to 1481. He was known for his military conquests, including the capture of Constantinople in 1453, which marked the end of the Byzantine Empire and the beginning of the Ottoman Empire's expansion into Europe. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the Islamic influences of the Ottoman Empire, with the reverse side featuring the phrase "La ilaha illallah" (There is no god but Allah) and the obverse side featuring the Sultan's name and title.
