Akce - Ibrahim I 1049 AH

Ibrahim I ruled for eight years before being deposed and strangled by the Janissaries in 1648 — one of the few Ottoman sultans executed by his own military. His reign was marked by fiscal deterioration and near-continuous debasement of the silver coinage, and the akçe by this point had shed so much metal content from its 15th-century predecessors that these pieces were struck on wafer-thin flans barely capable of holding a legible impression. The mint date 1049 AH corresponds to his accession year.
