OTTOMAN TUNIS
Mahmud II (1223-1255ah / 1808-1839ce)

2 riyals 1245ah (1829ce) Zn 16.41g cf.KM 93 R xf

This particular coin is most unusual. It could well be a contemporary forgery. It was remarkably well struck even though one finds a small amount of "shadowing" on both sides. It is made of almost pure zinc and weighs significantly less than Lot # 60. Undoubtedly, a rare coin.
