| Additional information |
Tripoli's regency coinage under Ottoman suzerainty occupied an awkward administrative position — the Karamanli dynasty ran the mint with considerable autonomy while still invoking the sultan's name for legitimacy. Abdulhamid I came to the throne in 1774, which places this piece in the final year of Mustafa III's reign by the Ottoman calendar, a dating discrepancy that has caused persistent misattribution in older references. KM#51 is occasionally confused with issues of the immediately preceding reign precisely because the regency's die-cutting lagged Istanbul's political calendar.
