Comment
Weight varies from 1.58 to 1.60 gramInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Cedid Mahmudiye coin is that it was introduced during the reign of Sultan Mahmud II, who implemented significant economic and political reforms in the Ottoman Empire, including the adoption of a new currency system that replaced the traditional Islamic coins with European-style coins like the Cedid Mahmudiye. This coin was minted in gold and had a value of 100 kurus, which was a significant denomination at the time. The coin's design featured the Sultan's name and title on one side and the Ottoman Empire's coat of arms on the other. The Cedid Mahmudiye coin was used throughout the Ottoman Empire and was a symbol of the Empire's economic and political modernization.
