Comment
Listed in Krause as type BInteresting 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. He implemented many reforms during his rule, including the adoption of a new currency system, which led to the minting of this coin. The coin's design features the Sultan's name and title in Arabic script, as well as the date of minting in both the Islamic and Gregorian calendars. Additionally, the coin's silver content and the fact that it was minted in the Regency of Tripoli (present-day Libya) make it a valuable and unique piece for collectors.
