Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Sultan Mahmud II, who ruled the Ottoman Empire from 1808 to 1839. He implemented many reforms during his reign, including the adoption of a new currency system, which replaced the old system of bartering with silver and gold coins. This coin, the ¼ Budju (6 Mazouna), was part of the new currency system and was used widely in Algeria during that time.
