Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Manghir - Suleyman I ND (1520-1566) coin from the Ottoman Empire is that it was one of the first coins to feature the portrait of a Sultan on one side and a religious symbol on the other. This was a departure from the traditional Islamic coinage design, which typically featured only religious symbols and inscriptions. The coin's design was a reflection of the increasing influence of European culture on Ottoman coinage during the 16th century.
