Weight varies: 0.25-0.28 gInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Akce - Mehmed IV (Aleppo) 1058 (1648) from Aleppo Eyalet (Syria) made of Silver weighing 0.28 g is that it was issued during the reign of Sultan Mehmed IV, who was the last Ottoman Sultan to issue coins in Aleppo. This coin was part of a series of coins issued by the Ottoman Empire during the 17th century to standardize currency across their territories. The coin's design features the Sultan's name and title in Arabic script, as well as the date of issue in both the Islamic and Gregorian calendars. Despite its small weight, this coin is a valuable piece of history for collectors and historians interested in the Ottoman Empire's monetary system and its influence on trade and commerce in the region.
