Mehmed I (1379 – 26 May 1421), also known as Mehmed Çelebi (Ottoman Turkish: چلبی محمد, "the noble-born") or Kirişci (from Greek Kyritzes, "lord's son"), was the Ottoman Sultan from 1413 to 1421. The fourth son of Sultan Bayezid I and Devlet Hatun, he fought with his brothers over control of the Ottoman realm in the Ottoman Interregnum (1402–1413). Starting from the province of Rûm he managed to bring first Anatolia and then the European territories (Rumelia) under his control, reuniting the Ottoman state by 1413, and ruling it until his death in 1421.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Mehmed I, who was the third Sultan of the Ottoman Empire and ruled from 1402 until his death in 1421. He was known for his military conquests and administrative reforms, which helped to strengthen the Ottoman Empire and establish it as a major power in the region. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the Islamic influences of the time, with the obverse featuring the name and title of the Sultan in Arabic script and the reverse bearing the date of issue in both Islamic and Christian era years.
