Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Akce - Mehmed III (Aleppo) 1003 (1595) from Aleppo Eyalet (Syria) made of Silver weighing 0.20 g is that it was issued during the reign of Sultan Mehmed III, who was the Ottoman Emperor from 1595 to 1603. This coin was part of a series of coins issued during his reign, which were designed to standardize the currency system in the Ottoman Empire. The coin's design features the Sultan's name and title on one side, and the date and mint location on the other. It is a rare and valuable coin among collectors today, due to its historical significance and the fact that it was produced in limited quantities.
