Coins 1730 year of issue

Coins are not only a payment tool, but also a means of expressing the identity of the state. Coins of Turkey are always interested in professionals and amateurs. In 1730, during the reign of Mahmud I, silver coins are issued - a pair. There is a gradual replacement of the oldest coins of acchi, the cost of which began to decrease due to a decrease in the quality of the metal, and the appearance of low-quality foreign coins.
This year, two silver coins are minted, each with a par value of 1 pair. These are round coins, 16 mm in size, weighing from 0.4 g to 0.64 g. On the obverse: tugra - the name and title of the ruler, on the reverse: the year and place of minting. Coins are decorated with various ornaments.
At the end of the XVII century, Suleiman II minted coins, which should replace the Austrian thalers - Turkish kurush. The first coin weighed 19.24 g. The change coin for the kurush is a pair.
In 1730, three coins were issued in standard circulation, with a face value of 1 kurush. The weight of a banknote increases by this time and varies between: from 23 g to 26.7 g. Images of coins are also drawn up in Arabic inscriptions, ornaments and a mire, like a pair. In some sources, these coins are called Ottoman piastre or gurush.
In the same year, rare gold coins of the Ottoman Empire, the highest, ducat, were issued. This is "zer mahbub." One - weighing 2.5 g, size - 18 mm, with a smooth, roughly decorated herd, has a raised collar with square teeth.
Another - 2.6 g, size - 20 mm, with a raised, undecorated shoulder. In the design is also used tugra with the title, and ornaments.
The Ottoman Empire at the beginning of the XVIII century followed the Eastern traditions of the monetary system. Coins are issued for circulation and minted in mints of Turkey. The date of accession to the throne of the ruler and the year of government, when money is minted, is printed on the coins. In the empire at this time, the bimetallic standard operates - silver and gold banknotes are issued.
