Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Yüzlük - Selīm III (Islambol) 1203 coin is that it was issued during a time of significant economic and political change in the Ottoman Empire. The coin was minted during the reign of Sultan Selim III, who ruled from 1789 to 1807 and implemented a number of reforms aimed at modernizing the empire and strengthening its economy. The use of billon, a silver-copper alloy, in the coin's production was likely a cost-saving measure during a time of economic strain. Despite these efforts, the empire continued to face challenges, including inflation and political instability, which ultimately led to the coin's devaluation and eventual replacement.
