MID SIZE ALBUM 1884 Cappadocian Church Prayer Candle TokenBy the late 19th century, the Ottoman Empire had fallen into such decline that a shortage of currency arose, leaving the government unable to mint enough coins to meet everyday needs. In response, St. Gregory Theologus Church in the Cappadocian town of Kelveri issued its own bracteate tokens in 1884 for the local Greek Orthodox community. Each token held a value of five paras—the cost of a candle—and parishioners used them to light candles in the name of Jesus.
