Islamic Dynasties
Ottoman Empire. Mahmud II gold Rumi Altin AH 1223 Year 15 (1821/22) MS66 PCGS, Constantinople mint (in Turkey), KM616. A typically high grade coin, the level of preservation of the present piece is simply astonishing, especially when taking into account the considerably poor state of the dies at the time of its striking, evinced by patches of die rust, a loss of definition on the inner border on the obverse, and a cud in part of the marginal legend. The remaining details are, however, fully struck up against a glassy backdrop that seems completely deserving of the type.
