| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field dominated by the ornate tughra (imperial cipher) of Sultan Mehmed VI rendered in fine calligraphic relief, set against a plain polished ground. The tughra is surrounded by a circular Arabic legend occupying the inner border, with the regnal year and accession year inscribed in Arabic numerals flanking the device. An outer beaded border frames the entire composition, characteristic of late Ottoman gold coinage. The overall design follows the traditional Ottoman format established for gold fraction pieces of this period, with the tughra serving as the primary heraldic symbol of sultanic authority. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Mehmed VI, the last reigning sultan of the Ottoman Empire, came to power in July 1918 with the war already lost. These gold kuruş issues were struck under an administration that would survive less than four years before Atatürk's nationalist government abolished the sultanate in November 1922. Mehmed fled aboard a British warship, never to return.
The regnal year sequence on pieces from this brief window places them among the final gold coinage of any Ottoman sultan — minted by an imperial mint that would itself be reorganized out of existence within the decade.
