Comment
NOTE: weight varies between 1.19 and 1.75Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Yirmilik - 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. These reforms included the adoption of a new currency system, which replaced the traditional Islamic coinage with a more modern, Western-style system based on the gold standard. The Yirmilik - Mahmud II coin was part of this new system and was designed to be more durable and easier to handle than the older coins. Despite these efforts, the Ottoman Empire continued to face economic challenges and political instability, ultimately leading to its decline and eventual collapse in the early 20th century.
