1/8 Budju - Mahmud II

The Regency of Algiers occupied an awkward position during this period — nominally Ottoman, practically autonomous, and a persistent headache for European naval powers. Mahmud II's reforms in Constantinople had little reach over the Algerian deys, who continued issuing coinage under his tughra as a formality of suzerainty rather than genuine subordination. This fractional issue served the small-change economy of the port city, where corsair commerce and ransom payments had long shaped the monetary system.

The series ends abruptly in 1830 with the French invasion and the abolition of the Regency entirely.
