Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Akce - Selim II (Aleppo) 976 (1569) from Aleppo Eyalet (Syria) made of Silver weighing 0.7 g is that it was issued during the reign of Sultan Selim II, who was the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1566 to 1574. This coin was part of a series of coins issued by Selim II to standardize the currency across the empire, and it features the Sultan's name and title on one side and the date and mint location on the other. The use of silver in the coin's composition was also a common practice during this time period, as it was a valuable and durable metal that was widely used in coinage across the region.
