<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cmezner, post: 25352993, member: 87809&quot;]Not my usual area of collecting; but I do have one Ottoman coin:</p><p>Abdülmecid I, Ottoman Sultan from 1839 to 1861. There are two requirements for proclaiming a Sultan, khutba and money issuance in the name of the Sultan. The first thing to be done is to make a tughra in his name. Tughra can be described as a signature of the Sultan and it was made unique for each Sultan.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sultan Abdülmecid I, AU 50 Kurush</p><p>Qustantiniya (Constantinople mint), 1849 – 1850; Year 12; 1255 +12 -1= 1266</p><p><br /></p><p>12 mm, 3.575 g</p><p>Friedberg 19; Ölcer 31.066; Pere 879; KM 678</p><p><br /></p><p>Ob.: سنه Toughra, 7 stars and RY within wreath.</p><p>١٢&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="http://en.ucoin.net/coin/ottoman_empire-50-kurus-1839/?cid=64622&amp;vid=19962" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.ucoin.net/coin/ottoman_empire-50-kurus-1839/?cid=64622&amp;vid=19962" rel="nofollow">&quot;١٢&quot; below toughra on Obverse<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />12)</a></p><p>Rev.: Legend (May he be victorious) Constantinople date 1255</p><p><br /></p><p>عز نصره</p><p>ضرب في</p><p>قسطنطينية</p><p>١٢٥٥</p><p>star above; all within wreath.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1621764[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1621765[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
