Mustafa I 1st reign.Rare.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Akce - Mustafa I (Damascus) 1026 (1617) from Damascus Eyalet (Syria) made of Silver weighing 0.36 g is that it was issued during the reign of Sultan Mustafa I, who was the first Ottoman Sultan to issue coins with his own name and title, rather than using the name of the previous Sultan. This coin was minted in 1617, and it features the name "Mustafa I" in Arabic script on one side, and the title "Sultan" in Turkish on the other side. This coin was used as a means of currency in the Ottoman Empire during that time and it is a rare and valuable collector's item today.
