Description: Mehmed V | NI 10 Para Reference: KM 768 Date: 1915-1916 CE (AH 1327, RY 7 or 8) Obverse: Huriyat * Musawat * Eadala around beaded border, toughra in center, (uncertain field mark and regnal year) Reverse: Dawlat Euthmania, Zuriba Fi Qustantiniya around beaded border; ١٠ (denomination value) in center and ١٣٢٧ (accession year) below Mint: Qustantiniya (Constantinople) Size: 18.9 mm Weight: 2.62 grams An interesting example where the sultan's toughra has been purposefully scratched out. Mehmed V oversaw a tumultuous period in Ottoman history accompanied by the sudden loss of enormous swaths of Ottoman territory. The Empire's sequential defeats in the Italo-Turkish War (1911-1912 CE), the First Balkan War (1912-1913 CE), and the First World War (1914-1918 CE) were sure to leave many Ottomans disgruntled with their sultan. Perhaps one such person decided to scratch out the toughra in frustration and anger. Policies I apply the highest ethical standards in selling ancient coins.
