Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Sultani - Murad IV (Damascus) 1032 (1623) gold coin from Damascus Eyalet (Syria) is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Byzantine design elements. The coin's obverse side features an inscription in Arabic that reads "Murad IV, Sultan of the Ottoman Empire," while the reverse side features an image of the Byzantine-style imperial eagle, symbolizing the coin's origins in the former Byzantine Empire.
