This coin is also relatively easy to decipher for non-experts. I like the border decoration of flowers, moons and stars. Compare the flag of the republic of Turkey.

Dear Peter,
In addition to your note, please note that this coin has "El-Ghazi" on the right of the Tugra instead of the normal "Rashad" which means that this coin was issued during the last three years of the Sultan's rule. It was only issued for years "Sana" 8, 9 & 10.
Five of those coins equal one gold Ottoman lira (100 Kurus); in terms of nowadays gold & silver prices this is not applicable.
