Comment
According to Stephen Album, coins from Mustafa I's reigns without a clear date are usually assigned to his second rather than his first period of rule, unless there is a clear link to a known die from the first reign.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Akçe - Mustafa I (second reign) 1031 (1622) from Ottoman Empire made of Silver weighing 0.33 g is that it was minted during a time of significant economic and political change in the Ottoman Empire. The coin was issued during the second reign of Mustafa I, who ruled the empire from 1617 to 1618 and again from 1622 to 1623. During this time, the Ottoman Empire was facing challenges from European powers and struggling with internal conflicts, which had an impact on the empire's economy and coinage. Despite these challenges, the Akçe coin remained a widely used and valued form of currency throughout the empire.
