This specimen is from a series struck in Istanbul during the reign of Sultan Abdul Hamid II (r. 1876-1909). Ottoman coins were dated using regnal years; the reverse bears the date AH 1293 (= 1876 A.D.) while the obverse bears the regnal year 24. 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 1300-1327 (1883-1909). This date is common.

Recorded mintage: 2,041,000.

Specification: 1.20 g, 0.830 silver, 0.0321 oz ASW.

Catalog reference: KM 735.
