This specimen was lot 2005 in Goldberg sale 119 (Los Angeles, June 2021), where it sold for $114. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "Algiers. ½ Budju, AH1219 (1804). NGC graded AU-55." From the sixteenth century until its final suppression in the early nineteenth century, piracy was the main source of revenue for the north African states of Algiers, Tunis and Morocco. Its end weakened those states and made them easy prey for European colonizers, particularly France, which invaded and conquered [[Algeria]] in the 1840's. The French found the interior tribesmen extremely obstreperous as had the previous regime, and never succeeded in imposing obedience. This type was struck AH 1215-1220 by the bey of Algiers.
