Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Manghir - Mehmed II (Second Reign) Constantinople ND (1451-1481) coin from the Ottoman Empire is that it was issued during a time of significant economic and cultural growth in the empire. Mehmed II, also known as Mehmed the Conqueror, ruled the Ottoman Empire during a period of expansion and prosperity, and this coin was minted during his second reign. The coin's design features an inscription in Arabic that reads "Manghir," which means "mint" or "coin," and the name of the mint city, Constantinople, which was the capital of the Ottoman Empire at the time. The coin's copper composition and relatively small weight of 2.6 grams also reflect the economic and monetary policies of the Ottoman Empire during this period.
