Note: Mehmed III ruled the Ottoman Empire from 1595 to 1603. His reign was marked by both internal strife and external conflicts, including wars with neighboring empires such as the Safavids and the Habsburgs. The Halab Mint, located in Aleppo, Syria, was one of the principal mints of the Ottoman Empire. Coins minted there played a vital role in facilitating trade and commerce in the region.
