Akçe
A silver coin, the ''akçe'' () (pronounced akche) was the chief monetary unit of the Ottoman Empire. Three ''akçe''s were equal to one ''para''. One-hundred and twenty ''akçe''s equalled one ''kuruş''. Later after 1687 the ''kuruş'' became the main unit of account, replacing the ''akçe''. In 1843, the silver ''kuruş'' was joined by the gold lira in a bimetallic system.〔Sevket Pamuk, ''A Monetary History of the Ottoman Empire'', Cambridge University Press, 2000, ISBN 0-521-44197-8〕 Its weight fluctuated, one source estimates it between 1.15 and 1.18 grams. The name Akçe originally referred to a silver coin but later the meaning changed and it became a synonym for money.
The mint in Novo Brdo, a fortified mining town in the Serbian Despotate rich with gold and silver mines, began to strike Akçe in 1441 when it was captured by the Ottoman forces for the first time.
The Suleiman Mosque in Istanbul is said to have cost 59 million ''akçe'' when it was constructed in the 1550s. This amount is said to have equalled 700,000 ducats in gold (probably Venetian).
