Title
Post-Medieval coin: unidentified
Description
English: A pierced silver-alloy coin struck under the Turkish Ottoman ruler Mahmud II (1808-1839).

Dimensions: 16mm diameter, 0.2mm thick. Weight: 0.45g.

Paul Cannon (pers. comm.) comments: 'I can add some further information about this coin. As stated the year on the coin is AH 1223 (equivalent to AD 1808) but this is the accession year of Mahmud II. The regnal year is also recorded on the coin as '28'. It was therefore struck in AH 1251 ( AD 1836). The mint is recorded as Constantinople (Istanbul). From the size and weight it is a 10 para coin. The level of silver in the silver coinage of Mahmud II dropped significantly throughout his reign and this probably accounts for its poor state.
