| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse displays a multi-line Arabic calligraphic legend filling the entire field, executed in the characteristic Ottoman tughra-influenced style. The central inscription reads 'al-Sultan Mustafa ibn Muhammad Khan' with the regnal prayer 'dama mulkuhu' (may his reign endure) arranged in bold raised lettering across three horizontal registers. A lower panel in the exergue records the mint name Edirne (Adrianople) and the accession year 1103 AH. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded inner border, itself surrounded by a plain raised rim, the flan exhibiting the characteristic irregular edge of hammered coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Mustafa II came to the throne in 1695 following a string of military disasters, and his decision to personally lead campaigns against the Habsburgs — unusually hands-on for a late Ottoman sultan — was partly an attempt to restore confidence in an empire reeling from the loss of Hungary. The Edirne mint served as a primary striking facility during this period precisely because Edirne functioned as a de facto second capital, where the sultan's court frequently resided during campaigns into the Balkans.
The kuruş itself had only recently been introduced as a large-format silver denomination, modeled on the European thaler to facilitate trade in territories where such coins were already trusted currency.
