Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Mahmud II, who was the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1808 to 1839. During his reign, Mahmud II implemented significant reforms, including the modernization of the Ottoman army and the creation of a new currency system. The ¼ Sultani coin was part of this new currency system and was used throughout the Ottoman Empire, including in the Regency of Algiers, which was a province of the empire at the time.
