Comment
Note: Unknown face value for the Akce. Assumed here as equal to 1 Nasri (1/104 Riyal).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Akce coin from the Eyalet of Tunis (Tunisia) made of Silver weighing 0.25g is that it was issued during the reign of Mehmed III in 1003 (1595), which was a time of significant political and economic change in the Ottoman Empire. This coin was part of a larger series of currency reforms implemented by Mehmed III, who aimed to stabilize the empire's economy and strengthen its currency. Despite being a small denomination coin, the 1 Akce was an important part of everyday commerce and trade in Tunisia and other parts of the Ottoman Empire.
