5 Kurus - Mehmed V 'el-Ghazi' right of Toughra

The "el-Ghazi" epithet — meaning "the Warrior" — was added to Mehmed V's titles following the Ottoman entry into the First World War in late 1914, which is why coins of this type appear both with and without it. His reign was largely ceremonial; real authority resided with the Committee of Union and Progress, the Young Turk triumvirate that effectively ran the empire into its final catastrophe. The Toughra placement noted here distinguishes this from the parallel issue, a distinction that matters for die variety collectors working through the KM#771 series.
