| Additional information |
The Regency of Algiers operated as an autonomous Ottoman province under nominal suzerainty from Constantinople, and its coinage reflected that ambiguity — struck locally, acknowledging the sultan in name, but practically independent in monetary affairs. Selim III was deposed in May 1807 after a Janissary revolt, which gives this issue a hard terminus. He was strangled in the Topkapı Palace the following year on orders from Mustafa IV.
