Islamic Dynasties
Ottoman Empire. Ahmed I Akce AH 1012 (1603) AU55 NGC, Guzelcehisar mint (in Turkey), KM13.14, A-1352, Pere-Unl. 10mm. 0.29gm. A mint that is simply never encountered for Ahmed's akces, and extremely rare, when it is encountered, to find in such a singular and enviable condition as is the present piece--struck on a remarkably regular flan for the issue, and quite well-centered as such, featuring not only a full mint and date, but the majority of the sultan's name intact as well. Die polish lines furthermore stud the surfaces quite prominently and suggest that perhaps a higher grade, just edging on Mint State, is left wanting. We note that the only other example we can reference, a raw specimen on a highly irregular flan, achieved $1680 as part of our sale of the Dr. Hans Wilski Collection (Auction #271840, 7 October 2018, lot 37297).
