Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Akce - Interregnum (Suleiman Çelebi) 806 (1404) from Ottoman Empire made of Silver weighing 1.17 g is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil in the Ottoman Empire, known as the Interregnum, which lasted from 1402 to 1413. This period saw a series of rival claimants to the throne, including Suleiman Çelebi, who was one of the sons of the deceased Sultan Bayezid I. The coin's minting was likely a way for Suleiman Çelebi to assert his claim to the throne and gain support among the people. Despite the political instability of the time, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, showcasing the skill of the Ottoman Empire's mint workers.
