Comment
Regnal year "20" probably is probably an error for "23" (SCWC.1801-1900)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Sultani - Mahmud II 1223 (1808) coin from Regency of Algiers (Algeria) is that it was issued during a time of great political and economic change in the region. The coin was minted in 1808, just a few years after the French had invaded Algiers in 1830, and it was used as a form of currency during this period of colonial rule. This coin is a unique piece of history that reflects the complex and multifaceted nature of Algeria's past.
