Para - Ahmed II

Ahmed II reigned for less than four years, from 1691 to 1695, a period defined almost entirely by the grinding aftermath of the failed Ottoman siege of Vienna and the catastrophic losses codified in the 1699 Treaty of Karlowitz. The para coinage of his reign was struck under severe fiscal pressure — the Ottoman treasury had been depleted by decades of war on the Hungarian frontier, and copper subsidiary issues like this one were increasingly debased instruments of a strained monetary system.

The Damali reference places this among the earliest documented issues of his reign.
