History reference:
The Turkish lira has been the national currency of Turkey since 1923 and replaced the Ottoman lira, which in turn has been in circulation since 1844. The history of Turkish money circulation dates ba...ck to the times of the Ottoman Empire, which lasted from 1299 until the end of the 19th century. Precious metals were widely used as money. 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. Starting from 1623 until 1930, a silver Turkish coin was also in circulation - a pair. Then it was used exclusively as a counting unit, 1/40 kurush. Kurush is a small Turkish coin used in the Ottoman Empire since 1688.
