Comment
I owe this coin which I have purchased at online auctionInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Sultani Murad III 982 (1574) gold coin from the Ottoman Empire is that it features a unique design element - a small crescent moon and star symbol located above the Sultan's name. This symbol was added to the coinage during Murad III's reign and became a distinctive feature of Ottoman coins for centuries to come.
