Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Zolota coin is that it was issued during the reign of Sultan Ahmed III, who ruled the Ottoman Empire from 1703 to 1730. This coin was minted in 1115 (1704) in the city of Kostantiniyye (modern-day Istanbul), which was the capital of the Ottoman Empire at the time. The coin was made of Billon, an alloy of silver and other metals, and weighed 20 grams. Despite being a standard circulation coin, the Zolota is now a rare and valuable collector's item due to its historical significance and the fact that it has been well-preserved over the centuries.
