Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Sultani - Suleiman I (Mosul; type 2) 926 (1520) coin from Mosul Eyalet (Iraq) is that it was made of gold and weighed 3.45 grams. This is significant because it shows that the Ottoman Empire, which ruled Mosul at the time, placed a high value on gold coins and used them as a symbol of wealth and power. Additionally, the fact that this coin was circulated in Mosul specifically, suggests that the city played an important role in the Ottoman Empire's economy and trade networks.
