Ottoman Empire Coins












Ottoman rule started from a small Turkish state that emerged into an empire with the breakdown of the Seljuk Turks.   Expanding and annexing large surrounding areas ( middle east and certain eastern europe ) the glory and glamour of the empire became  words of the day. Some of the coins from that era are shown here.Coins number 1, 4 and 11 are made of silver.
