Mustafa I 1st reignRare
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin 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, minted in 1617, features the name "Mustafa I" and the title "Sultan of the Ottoman Empire" in Arabic script on one side, and the other side features the mint location "Aleppo" and the date "1026" in the Islamic calendar. This coin is a rare example of early Ottoman coinage and is highly sought after by collectors.
