is very important as it clarifies the date of coming into power of Orhan
Gazi, which was disputed in old Ottoman times.
dates from 710=1310 to 727=1327 were alleged about the death of Osman
Gazi, thus coming into power of Orhan. On the other hand, it was understood
from a deed dated 723=1323 that Osman Gazi was alive at that time, and
from another deed dated 724=1324 that Osman had died in 724 and Orhan
had come to power in his place.

to Selim I. Selim succeeded to the throne on 918=1512. However, the
coin no. 4 bears the date 917. Since Sultan Selim became the emperor
on 24 April 1512 = 7 Safer 918, it is understood that the date of 917
