Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Zolota coin is that it was issued during the reign of Abdülhamid I, who was the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1773 to 1780. During his reign, the Ottoman Empire was facing significant economic challenges, including inflation and debasement of the currency. The Zolota coin was introduced as a new standardized currency to address these issues, and it was made of billon, a silver-copper alloy, to increase its durability and longevity. Despite the challenges faced during its issuance, the Zolota coin remains a valuable piece of history for numismatists and collectors today.
