Annual career record begins at AH 1290 (1873–1874)

Muhabere Memuru · kastamonu · 285 kuruş monthly

First work is separately recorded at AH 1283 (1866–1867) in Kastamonu (Telgraf). The first-salary field is 285 kuruş; it is not a dated point on this curve.

Monthly nominal assigned amounts, not confirmed cash payments. Lines connect consecutive AH years only; hollow points mean salary not recorded. Competing entries in one AH year remain separate points, without a unique pay-change line. Gregorian spans describe whole AH years; source Gregorian labels remain separate evidence.
