| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse field is entirely occupied by a multi-line Ottoman Turkish legend in bold, flowing thuluth-style Arabic calligraphy, reading the royal titulature of Sultan Ahmed III ibn Mehmed Khan with the mint and accession year formula. The inscription includes the phrase 'darb fi Qustantiniyyah' (struck in Constantinople) together with the AH regnal year 1115. The legend fills the flan from center to periphery, with the text arranged in four horizontal registers. A plain inner border separates the legend from the outer beaded rim, which encircles the entire coin. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ahmed III came to power in 1703 following the Edirne Event, a Janissary-led revolt that deposed his brother Mustafa II — one of the few Ottoman sultans removed by military mutiny rather than palace intrigue. The zolota was struck to facilitate trade with European merchants operating in Ottoman ports, its billon composition a deliberate concession to the debased silver coinage circulating widely across the Balkans and Levant at the time.
KM#156 is among the earliest issues of Ahmed's reign, struck before the monetary reforms of his later tulip-era court took hold.
