This specimen is from a series struck in Istanbul during the reign of Sultan Muhammed V (r. 1909-1918). This reign saw the first use of nickel as a coinage metal in Turkey, though it had already been introduced into Ottoman Egyptian coinage in the 1870's. Ottoman coins were dated using regnal years; the reverse bears the date AH 1327 (= 1909 A.D.) while the obverse bears the regnal year 3. The Hejira calendar uses a lunar year instead of a solar year, so its starting date moves from year to year. This type was issued AH 1327-1333 (1909-14). The type is common.

Recorded mintage: 18,992,000.

Specification: nickel.

Catalog reference: KM 760.
