Islamic Dynasties
Ottoman Empire. Mehmed Celebi (AH 808-816 / AD 1405-1413) Akce AH 808 (AD 1405) AU50 NGC, Amasya mint (in Turkey), A-1293.1, Pere-Unl., Damali-4B-AM-G3-808. 18mm. 1.15gm. A fleeting subtype of this ruler's already scant coinage before he formally ascended to the throne as Mehmed I, which bears word sahh ("good", "correct") in the center of the reverse legend. Capturing nearly the fullness of the stamp on the flan, this is the first example of the type we have been able to locate coming to auction in the past two decades.
