Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Manghir - Murad I ND (1362-1389) coin from the Ottoman Empire is that it was one of the first coins to feature the name of the ruler, Murad I, in the Arabic script. This was a departure from the traditional practice of using the name of the caliph, which had been the case until then. This change in design was a significant departure from the traditional Islamic coinage and marked a turning point in the history of Ottoman coinage.
