研究了17世纪奥斯曼帝国市场上广泛流通成色不足的欧洲铸币的现象，从财政赤字、货币不稳定、货币替代和本地银矿衰落等角度解释原因，并探讨了奥斯曼铜币缺席的原因。
The Near East was subject to many of the same fiscal and monetary forces that affected Europe and parts of Asia during the early modem era. For almost two decades during the seventeenth century, debased European coinage circulated widely in Ottoman markets at values far above their specie content. This article provides an explanation in terms of Ottoman fiscal deficits, currency instability, currency substitution, and decline in local silver mines all of which led to the closure of mints. The reasons behind the conspicuous absence of Ottoman copper coinage during this period are also explored.
