| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse is dominated by the tughra of Sultan Suleyman II, executed in the characteristic Ottoman calligraphic idiom with sweeping horizontal extensions (hançer) and tall vertical shafts (elif) rising above the interlocking baseline loops (beyze). The device is struck in bold relief against an unadorned flat field, typical of provincial hammered copper issues. The flan is roughly circular and irregular in outline, with the granular surface texture inherent to base-metal hand-struck coinage of the late seventeenth century. No border, legend, or subsidiary ornament accompanies the tughra. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Suleyman II came to power in 1687 after being pulled from decades of confinement in the kafes — the palace apartments where Ottoman princes were sequestered to prevent succession disputes. His reign coincided with the aftermath of the failed 1683 siege of Vienna and ongoing military humiliation at the hands of the Holy League. The Sarajevo mint, operating in Bosnia, was one of several provincial facilities pressed into service to supply copper coinage to territories increasingly difficult to administer from Constantinople.
KM#89 manghirs from Sarajevo are scarce relative to Istanbul-struck contemporaries.
