Comment
Note: without value, size and weight made it a ParaInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Para - Ahmed III 1115 (1704) from Eyalet of Egypt (Egypt) made of Silver weighing 0.66 g is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and European design elements. The coin's obverse side features Arabic script and a depiction of the Ottoman Sultan Ahmed III, while the reverse side features a crowned shield with a crescent moon and a star, which was a common motif in European heraldry. This blending of design elements reflects the cultural exchange and influence that existed between the Ottoman Empire and Europe during this time period.
