This specimen is from a series struck in Istanbul during the reign of Sultan Abdul Hamid (r. 1876-1909). This denomination was introduced during the rule of Sultan Abdul Mejid (r. 1839-61). Ottoman coins were dated using regnal years; the reverse bears the date AH 1293 (= 1876 A.D.) while the obverse bears the regnal year 11 (1885). 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 1300-1326 (1882-1908). The silver five kurush, which weighed slightly more than a French silver franc, was last issued to this standard in 1918.

''Recorded mintage:'' 1,788,000.

''Specification:'' 6.01 g, .830 fine silver, .160 troy oz ASW.

''Catalog reference:'' KM 737.
