Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Sultani - Mehmed III 1003 (1595) 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 of the Sultan, Mehmed III, in Arabic script, while the reverse side features a stylized depiction of a Mongolian-style dragon, which was a symbol of power and prosperity in the Mongolian Empire. This blend of cultural influences reflects the rich history and cultural exchange that took place during the Ottoman Empire's expansion into the Middle East and Asia.
