Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Mustafa III, who was the last Ottoman Emperor to have any real authority over the Regency of Algiers. At the time, Algiers was a semi-autonomous state that was nominally under Ottoman rule, but had a significant degree of independence. The coin's design and issuance reflect the complex political and cultural dynamics of the region during this period.
