The Turkish Resat Coin

Resat is a Turkish gold coin minted between 1844 and 1855. It has a weight of 3.5 grams and contains 3.24 grams of fine gold. The Resat had a face value of 20 para and was used as official currency by the Ottoman government. "Resat" is an old Turkish term meaning "fourth" in reference to the unit of weight and face value. The Resat coins are highly sought after by collectors and investors today, because of their historical significance and precious metal content. They are a popular choice for investors looking to invest in gold, as they are larger and heavier than Ceyrek coins, but still smaller than other gold bars and have a higher value.
