Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Akce 824 (1421) from the Ottoman Empire is that it was issued during the reign of Sultan Murad II, who ruled the empire from 1421 to 1451. This coin was part of a series of coins issued during his reign that were designed to standardize the currency and promote trade throughout the empire. The use of silver in the coin's composition was a deliberate choice to increase its value and durability, as silver was a highly valued metal at the time. Despite its small weight of 1.14 grams, the coin was an important part of the Ottoman Empire's economy and played a significant role in facilitating trade and commerce during this period.
