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 that had previously featured only religious symbols and inscriptions. The coin's design was a reflection of the increasing power and influence of the Ottoman Empire and the importance of the Sultan's image in promoting the empire's identity and legitimacy.
