| Additional information |
The Regency of Algiers was effectively finished as a political entity by 1830, when French forces took the city and ended three centuries of Ottoman-backed rule. Coins continued to be struck in the Bey's name through the mid-1830s, but their authority was largely ceremonial — a dying monetary system operating in the interstice between Ottoman suzerainty and French colonial administration.
Billon issues of this period are frequently found heavily corroded, a consequence of the alloy's instability and the North African climate.
