Harf - Mustafa I

Mustafa I's first reign lasted less than a year — he was deposed in 1618 after the Janissaries who had placed him on the throne lost confidence in a sultan widely considered mentally unfit to rule. Coinage struck in his name from provincial mints like those serving Yemen Eyalet represents some of the thinnest and most fragmentary silver of the entire Ottoman sequence, produced at the margins of an empire whose attention was firmly elsewhere.
