1 Medin - Mehmed IV Damascus

Mehmed IV ascended the throne in 1648 at age six following the deposition and eventual execution of his father Ibrahim I — one of the more violent successions in Ottoman history. Provincial mints like Damascus operated with considerable autonomy during his long reign, and output quality varied sharply from the Constantinople standard. The medin denomination itself was already a declining unit by mid-century, gradually squeezed out by the larger and more practical para system.
