 * Keep - it now has a cited source, which has a lot more information that could be incorporated into the article. As the sole gold coin of a large empire for centuries, serving both economic and symbolic roles as the Ottoman's "ultimate symbol of sovereignty" (per the Encyclopedia of the Ottoman Empire), it has a strong case for presumption of notability, and among the 17 other language wikis with articles on the Sultani, as well as Google Books, I find a number of additional cited WP:RS. In particular wiki.fr has a more filled-out article that could provide a framework for expansion of this article. It looks to me like it should be possible to compose a valid article on the subject, so it should be improved rather than deleted. Agricolae (talk) 13:53, 1 January 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep -- It might be better if this were merged or repurposed as Coinage of the Ottoman Empire. The category on that has about 5 articles, at least one of which is rather longer.  Peterkingiron (talk) 14:11, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep: Aside from the coverage in the book reference that I added, various journal articles touch on this topic in the context of Ottaman coinage (e.g. "The Ottoman Monetary Crisis of 1585 Revisited", "Between Venice and Surat: The Trade in Gold in Late Safavid Iran"). The silver Akçe seems to have been the main coin, so there could be merit in the above suggestion about considering the fluctuating values of the silver and gold coins together, but the present article can serve as one building block for developing the wider topic.
