Public domain
This work first published in the Ottoman Empire is now in the public domain because the Empire's copyright formalities were not met (copyright notice, registration, and deposit), or because the copyright term (30 years after the death of the author, sometimes less) expired before the Empire was dissolved (details).
Other versions

There are three other versions of Abdülhamid II's tughra that are currently hosted on Commons in different formats (GIF, PNG, SVG). However, all of them are inaccurate since they do not depict the decorative motif in the lower left part of the tughra.
