One interesting fact about the Zeri Mahbub - Mahmud II 1223 (1808) gold coin from the Regency of Tripoli (Libya) is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Western design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the inscription "Zeri Mahbub" (meaning "Golden Currency" in Arabic) and the reverse side features a depiction of the Ottoman Sultan Mahmud II, who ruled from 1808 to 1839. This blending of Islamic and Western design elements reflects the cultural and historical context of the Regency of Tripoli during that time period.
