This specimen was lot 1977 in Sincona sale 63 (Zürich, June 2020), where it sold for 140 CHF (about US$176 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"TÜRKEI | misc. Mohammed V. 1909-1918. 25 Kurush 1327 AH, Jahr 1 (1909 AD), Konstantinopel. Vorzüglich. (sultanate of Turkey, Mohammed V, 1909-18, twenty-five kurush of AH 1327, year 1, Constantinople mint. Extremely fine.)"
This specimen is from a series struck in Istanbul during the reign of Sultan Muhammed V (r. 1909-18). 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 1327 (= 1909 A.D.) while the obverse 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 1327-1332 (1909-14); some dates are listed with very low mintages. This denomination was also struck as monnaie de luxe (KM 763). The last gold 25 kurush of this size was issued in 1929, under Ataturk's Republic.

Specification: 1.80 g, 0.917 fine gold, this specimen 1.79 g.
