Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Mangir - Mehmed IV 1058 (1648) coin from Baghdad Eyalet (Iraq) is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Mongolian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features the name and title of the Sultan, Mehmed IV, in Arabic script, while the reverse side features a stylized depiction of a Mongolian-style dragon, which was a symbol of the Mongol Empire that had conquered much of the Middle East in the 13th century. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history and cultural exchange that occurred in the region during this time period.
