Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Mustafa I, who was the first Sultan of the Ottoman Empire to issue coins with his own name and title, rather than using the name of the previous Sultan. This marks a significant shift in the Ottoman Empire's monetary policy and highlights Mustafa I's efforts to centralize power and establish a more independent monetary system.
