Note: Abdul Hamid II was the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1876 to 1909. His reign was marked by efforts to modernize the empire while also facing challenges such as nationalist movements and territorial losses. The Constantinople Mint, located in the capital city of the Ottoman Empire (modern-day Istanbul), was one of the principal mints responsible for producing coins for circulation throughout the empire’s territories.
