Among the functionaries who formed the first department were the Defterdar, or Minister of Finance, and the Nishānji Bashi, whose duty was to trace the Tughra or cypher of the Sultan at the head of all the documents presented to him for that purpose. This Tughra, with the appearance of which most of us are familiar from seeing it on Turkish coins and postage-stamps or on pieces of em broidery or inlaid mother-of-pearl work, contains, ornamentally written as a sort of monogram, the names of the reigning Sultan and his father, together with the title Khan and the epithet el-muzaffar-daima, or 'victor ever.' The Tughra is said to have originated in this way: Sultan Murad I. entered into a treaty with the Ragusans, but when the document was brought for his signature, he, being unable to write, wetted his open hand with ink and pre ed it on the paper. The first, second, and third fingers were together, but the thumb and fourth finger were apart. Within the mark thus formed the scribes wrote the names of Murad and his father, the title Khan, and the "victor ever." The Tughra, as we now have it, is the result of this: the three long upright lines represent Muråd's three middle fingers, the rounded lines at the left side are his bent thumb, and the straight ones at the right his little finger.
