Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Sultani - Murad III 982 (1575) gold 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, Murad III, in Arabic script, while the reverse side features a stylized depiction of a Mongolian-style dragon, which was a symbol of the Ilkhanid dynasty that ruled over much of the Middle East during the 13th and 14th centuries. This blending of cultural influences reflects the rich history and cultural diversity of the region where the coin was minted.
