Beschrijving voorzijde Within a plain inner circle, a three-line Arabic legend bearing the sultan's titulature reads 'Sultan Murad ibn Ahmed Han.' The script is rendered in a bold, angular hand typical of early 17th-century Ottoman hammered coinage. A beaded border runs along the coin's periphery, partially irregular due to the hand-struck flan. The fields are slightly granular and uneven, consistent with the hammered technique of the period.

Beschrijving keerzijde Within a plain inner circle, a multi-line Arabic legend occupies the field, recording the pious formula 'Azze Nasrühu' (May he be victorious), followed by the mint name and the accession year 1032 AH. The inscription is struck in bold relief in the angular Ottoman script characteristic of the period. A beaded border frames the legend along the coin's periphery, partially obscured by the irregular edge of the hand-struck flan. The overall execution is typical of provincial Ottoman hammered akçes of the early 17th century.

Aanvullende informatie

Murad IV came to the throne at eleven years old, and the early akçe issues of his reign were struck under effective regency control while the empire lurched through Janissary revolts and a collapsing treasury. By this point the akçe had suffered two centuries of progressive debasement — from roughly 1.2g under Suleiman I to under a third of that — rendering it nearly ceremonial in daily trade. Billon and copper had already displaced it for most transactions.
