Islamic Dynasties
Ottoman Empire. Murad II (1st Reign, AH 824-848 / AD 1421-1444) Akce AH 825 (AD 1421/2) XF45 NGC, Germiyan mint (in Turkey), A-1302G (RR), Pere-54 (date there in retrograde), Damali-6-GM-G2-825 (same). 14mm. 0.92gm. An incredibly fleeting emission from Murad's first reign, produced to a standard very seldom found in this early period of Ottoman coinage, all weakness staying off towards the peripheries while the stamp itself appears beautifully centered and replete with die polish lines. It is quite worthy of note that neither Damali nor Pere records a correctly written date for this type, a fact sure to pique the interests of serious Ottoman collectors.
