Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Akce - Mehmed II (Second reign, Type 1) 855 (1451) coin from the Ottoman Empire is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Byzantine influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features an inscription in Arabic script that reads "Muhammad is the Messenger of God," which reflects the Islamic faith of the Ottoman Empire.
