An interesting characteristic of the Ottomans is that they often continued to mint the local currency of a region that they incorporated into their state. Here are an Ottoman dirham from Halab and a dinar from Tlemcen, Algeria, both minted under Sultan Murad III. MashAllah.

Sterling silver is a alloy made of 92.5% pure silver with the remainder usually being copper
It’s very common in silver jewelry, “925” is it’s hallmark
Copper makes the silver stronger, but also makes it oxides more quickly- that’s why a lot of silver jewelry darkens over time

There was a Turkish American collector who’s entire collection of Ottoman coins (it was giant) went on sale and almost no one noticed
Some of the rarest Ottoman coins ever minted sold for less than melt value
People are immediately reselling them for 2-3 times the price
