Ancient coins were issued by sultans and bore their names, but not portraits - in accordance with Islamic tradition. In 1327, Akche ("whitish") was minted by Orkhan. This small silver coin was in circulation on the territory of the Ottoman Empire and its neighboring states in the 14th - 19th centuries.

Kurush is a small Turkish coin used in the Ottoman Empire since 1688.
