This specimen was lot 704 in Stephen Album sale 37 (Santa Rosa, CA, June 2020), where it did not sell. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "[[Turkey|TURKEY]]: Abdul Hamid II, 1876-1909, AV 100 kurush, Kostantiniye, AH1293 year 30, lightly polished, VF to EF." 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 30 (= AH 1322 = March 1904-March 1905). 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 years 6-32; most dates are listed with very low mintages but the SCWC prices them all the same.

''Recorded mintage:'' 1,643,795.

''Specification:'' 7.21 g, 0.917 fine gold, this specimen 7.17 g.

''Catalog reference:'' KM-730, Fr-143 (formerly Fr-41).
