Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Yüzlük - 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 and strengthening its economy. The use of billon, a silver-copper alloy, in the coin's production was likely a cost-saving measure during a time of economic strain. Despite these efforts, the empire continued to face challenges, including a significant debt crisis in the 1830s. The coin's design, featuring an ornate crown and the sultan's name in Arabic script, reflects the cultural and artistic traditions of the Ottoman Empire during this time period.
