Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Rumi Tek Altin - Mahmud II (Kostantiniyye) 1223 coin is that it was issued during a time of significant economic and political change in the Ottoman Empire. The coin was minted during the reign of Sultan Mahmud II, who ruled from 1808 to 1839 and implemented a number of reforms aimed at modernizing the empire. The use of gold in the coin's composition and its relatively small weight suggest that it may have been intended for use in everyday transactions, reflecting the growing importance of trade and commerce in the empire during this period.
