Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Budju coin from Regency of Algiers (Algeria) is that it was minted during the reign of Sultan Mahmud II, who ruled the Ottoman Empire from 1808 to 1839. This coin was issued in 1831, which was a significant year for the Ottoman Empire as it marked the beginning of the Tanzimat reforms, a series of modernizing reforms aimed at strengthening the empire's administrative, legal, and military systems. The coin's silver content and relatively low weight also make it a unique and interesting piece for collectors.
