<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mukremin, post: 846053, member: 24306&quot;]ffrickey: i only got 2 akches, 1 from II Murad 1421 year, and II Bayezid from 1481. Ottoman empire used akches widely, but after the 16th century, they moved from akches to more european style coins, like the polish zloty. Polish who took refuge in ottoman empire, they brought along their own currency thus the new ottoman coinage was born. And yes i try to collect as much as possible with limited budget. This forum will certainly help to gather information etc. I can read most of the coins, arabic is a bit harder, but ottoman turkish is easier to read since its spoken like turkish but written in arabic alphabet. I have some experience with it, i can read dates and the names where it is minted and which sultan it belongs. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks financeman, i try my best to have a kosmopilitan coin collection <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>sunflower: i will make another close picture of the paper money, that is what you mean right? Maybe you can post a picture of your gold coin, ill take a look. If any of you have unknown ottoman coins, i will gladly help with it. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Most people around me know of my collection, 1 person stole 1 coin from me. An ayyubid coin, very old. Now i am more careful with showing everything. It must be a hard blow to loose all the stuff you worked on <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>BTW a question, coins with a hole in it, does it serieusly reduce the price? i dont mind really, because the historic and eye value is far more important to me[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
