Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Akce - Mehmed IV (Kostantiniyye) 1058 (1648) coin from the Ottoman Empire is that it was made of Billon, a type of alloy that is composed of a mixture of metals, typically copper, silver, and sometimes gold. The use of Billon in coinage was common in the Ottoman Empire during this time period, as it allowed for the production of coins with a lower intrinsic value than coins made of pure metals, while still maintaining their durability and resistance to wear and tear.
