Islamic Dynasties
Ottoman Empire. Mehmed II (1451-1481) Onluk (10 Akςes) AH 875 (1470/1) AU50 ANACS, Constantinople mint (in Turkey), 8.85g, Album-1307, ICV-3146. An extraordinarily rare and attractive specimen of this first abortive attempt to introduce a large silver denomination into the Ottoman monetary system. Some slight traces of die rust are to be noted, but the relative crispness of the strike and near perfect centering of the reverse are certainly far above what could be desired.
