1 Budju - Mahmud II

Descrizione del dritto	The elaborate calligraphic tughra of Sultan Mahmud II occupies the central field, rendered in bold raised relief with sweeping loops and interlocking strokes characteristic of Ottoman imperial monograms. A small floral ornament appears to the right of the tughra. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, itself set within a plain raised outer rim, the flan being notably irregular in shape as typical of hammered billon coinage of the Algerian Regency.

Informazioni aggiuntive	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.
