Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Akce - Mahmud II (Kostantiniyye) 1223 (1808) coin from the Ottoman Empire is that it was issued during a time of significant economic and political change in the empire. Mahmud II, who ruled from 1808 to 1839, implemented a number of reforms aimed at modernizing the empire and strengthening its economy. The introduction of this coin, which was made of silver and had a relatively low weight, may have been part of these efforts to stabilize and improve the empire's currency system.
