Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Suleiman the Magnificent, who was the tenth and longest-reigning sultan of the Ottoman Empire, ruling from 1520 to 1566. Suleiman's reign was marked by significant military conquests, legal reforms, and cultural achievements, and this coin is a testament to the economic and cultural prosperity of the Ottoman Empire during that time.
