| Additional information |
Mehmed VI ascended the throne in July 1918 with the Ottoman war effort already in terminal collapse. This issue was struck during the final months of World War I and into the immediate armistice period — a government minting coins while Allied fleets anchored in the Bosphorus and occupation negotiations were underway. The Mudros Armistice was signed in October 1918, yet production continued into 1919, making this one of the last silver issues of a dynasty that would be formally abolished by the Grand National Assembly in 1922.
