This specimen is from a series struck in Istanbul during the reign of Sultan Selim III (r. 1789-1808). Ottoman coins were dated using regnal years; the reverse bears the date AH 1203 (= 1789 A.D.) while the reverse bears the regnal year 1. 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 1203-1223. It is unusual in that the mint written on the coin is 'Istanbul' rather than 'Constantinople'.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
Specification: 12.3-13 g, 0.4650 fine silver.
Catalog reference: Dav-1818, KM 498.
