Akçe- Süleyman II

Süleyman II came to power in 1687 after his brother Mehmed IV was deposed following the catastrophic Ottoman defeat at the second Battle of Mohács. By 1688 the empire had also lost Belgrade to the Habsburgs, and the treasury was under severe strain. The akçe had been in steady debasement for over a century by this point — what had once been a coin of meaningful silver content was now, at 0.19g, little more than a token of account.

Süleyman II's reign lasted only four years, making surviving struck examples relatively scarce by Ottoman akçe standards.
